Summary
The Morioka Fireworks Festival brings pyrotechnicians from across Japan to the Kitakami River riverbed in Morioka City, Iwate on August 11, 2026, 7:25-8:30 pm. Large-diameter 'shakudama' pieces and starmine sequences headline a ticketed entry event, with sales starting July 1.
Overview
Held on the Kitakami River riverbed downstream of the Tounan Ohashi bridge in Morioka City on August 11, 2026, the Morioka Fireworks Festival runs 7:25-8:30 pm. Pyrotechnicians from all over Japan compete across a program of varied pieces — large shakudama shells and continuous starmine among them — with launch sites close enough to the riverbed seating that the sound lands as hard as the light. Entry is ticketed, with sales opening July 1. The venue is a 30-minute walk from JR Iwate-Iioka Station with shuttle buses available; note that surrounding roads close to traffic from 6:00 to 9:30 pm, and three free lots totalling 600 spaces sit nearby.
