Yokosuka Kaikoku Fireworks Festival 2026

Summary

Yokosuka Kaikoku Fireworks 2026 commemorates the port city's opening with a bay-wide evening on September 27, 2026, firing from 6:00 p.m. across waterfront venues including Kazakusa Park and the seaside fishing park. The distributed, free format spreads the show along the shoreline — pick a park, claim grass or seawall. No parking is provided and no food stalls are organized, so dinner in town beforehand is the pattern.

Overview

Yokosuka's identity is its harbor, and the Kaikoku — 'port opening' — fireworks put that harbor front and center. On September 27, 2026, from 6:00 p.m., launches are staged for an audience scattered across several waterfront parks, all free to enter. The multi-venue layout is the event's character: rather than one packed prime spot, the shoreline offers a sequence of lawns and seawalls, each with its own sightline over the bay. There is no event parking and no food-stall operation, so the pattern is dinner in the city's dining districts, then a walk to the water. The Yokosuka tourism office (open 9:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.) publishes the venue map and schedule each year — check before choosing your park.
