Summary
The 52nd Southern Beach Chigasaki Fireworks Festival is held at Chigasaki Beach in Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, on Saturday, August 1, 2026. Starting at 19:30, around 2,000 shells light up the night sea, led by the 'Underwater Peacock' shells that bloom beneath the surface and fan out across the water together with star mines. Watching from the sand with the sound of the waves is part of the appeal; about 50,000 visitors are expected and food stalls line the venue.
Overview
The 52nd Southern Beach Chigasaki Hanabi Taikai takes place at Chigasaki Beach (Southern Beach Chigasaki) in Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, on Saturday, August 1, 2026, with firing from 19:30 to 20:10 — about 2,000 shells organized by the Chigasaki Tourism Association. The signature shells open underwater and spread across the sea like a peacock's tail, so a position on the sand facing the water catches both the bursts and their reflections on the waves. Expect crowds of around 50,000: the 20-minute walk from Chigasaki Station gets busy, and there is no parking, so come by train. Paid seating is best bought in advance, and the latest schedule updates are posted on the official website.
