The Fujisawa Enoshima Fireworks returns to Katase Coast's West Beach on October 17, 2026, launching about 1,000 shells from 6:00 p.m. against the silhouette of Enoshima island. An autumn-night crowd of roughly 38,000 spreads across the sand — one of the Shonan coast's signature free gatherings. Food stalls line the beachfront and event parking is arranged; the 6:00 p.m. start pairs naturally with an Enoshima sunset.
Katase's West Beach, the stretch of sand facing Enoshima island, hosts this autumn fireworks evening on October 17, 2026. The program of roughly 1,000 shells begins at 6:00 p.m., timed so the season's early dusk does part of the staging: the island's silhouette, then color over it. Around 38,000 people attend, spread along a beach that handles crowds better than most venues — sand expands. Viewing is free with no paid tiers; food stalls operate along the promenade, and event parking is arranged, though the coast's roads are the night's real bottleneck, and the organizer — the Fujisawa tourism association — recommends early arrival. Its site posts the definitive schedule. The 6:00 p.m. start means the show ends before the October sea breeze turns bitter.
