Summary

About 3,000 shells are launched over Benten Ryokuchi Park in Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture, on Friday, August 14, 2026, 19:30–20:00, in the 70th Katsuyama Noryo Fireworks Display. The Kaccha Marche, a market of local food and specialties, runs alongside, and paid grandstand seats are provided. Echizen Railway's Katsuyama Station is a 15-minute walk from the venue, free parking for 500 cars opens at city facilities such as the city office and library, and the display is postponed to Saturday the 15th or Sunday the 16th in case of bad weather.

Overview

The Katsuyama Noryo Fireworks Display marks its 70th edition in 2026, with about 3,000 shells packed into half an hour at Benten Ryokuchi Park on Friday, August 14, 2026, 19:30–20:00. The dense, rapid program suits the short format, and the Kaccha Marche — a market of local food and regional specialties held at the same time — fills the hours before launch. Echizen Railway's Katsuyama Station is a fifteen-minute walk from the venue; by car it is about 40 minutes from the Fukui-Kita IC on the Hokuriku Expressway. Free parking for 500 cars is available across city facilities including the city office, the education and welfare hall, the post office, the library and the Echizen Railway lot, and paid grandstand seats are on offer. In case of bad weather, the display is postponed to Saturday, August 15 or Sunday, August 16 — watch the organizer's announcements when the forecast looks uncertain.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Aim to arrive 30–45 minutes before the start. The park's viewing area is open, and prime spots go early. If you want to browse the Kaccha Marche too, an early-evening arrival works well.

With kids

With the market and fireworks in one place, the setup is easy for families. As evening crowds build, fix a meeting point with your group.

Photography tips

About 3,000 shells in 30 minutes — the bursts come fast, so burst mode pays off. Be considerate in crowds.

Payment

Paid grandstand seats are provided. The Marche and food stalls generally take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins. Parking at city facilities (500 spaces total) is free.
