Overview

Held on Friday, August 14, 2026, the 22nd Oga Sea of Japan Fireworks fills the night sky over Funagawa Port's OGA Marine Park with about 10,000 shells between 19:30 and 21:00. Around 190,000 people attend each year, making it Oga's signature summer event. An open, sea-facing venue is the appeal here: the lights of the harbor at night and fireworks reflected on the water can be enjoyed together. The program includes music-synced sequences, Niagara cascades and wide star mines. The venue is only a 10-minute walk from JR Oga Station, but the surroundings get busy on the day. Drivers can use the temporary lot (2,400 spaces, 2,000 yen per car) — details are on the official website. Most general viewing is on grass, so arrive with time to spare and spread out a sheet. Paid seats are best bought in advance.
