13th Shimmiko Beach Festival Fireworks Festival: From the beach at Shimmiko Marine Park, you can enjoy beautiful fireworks reflecting on the sea surface
The 13th Shinmaiko Beach Festival fireworks light up Blue Sun Beach at Shinmaiko Marine Park in Chita, Aichi Prefecture, from 19:00 on August 29, 2026. Some 1,800 shells include star-mines launched from an offshore barge, underwater star-mines and music-synchronized sequences, while the 'Shinmaiko Kitchen Garden' food area opens from around 4 p.m.
The beachfront setting shapes the whole program: barge-launched star-mines, underwater sequences and music fireworks make up a show of about 1,800 shells, with about 42,000 visitors expected. The Kitchen Garden brings local food pride and summer favorites from late afternoon. There is no parking around the venue — the official guidance is to arrive by Meitetsu train, ten minutes on foot from Shinmaiko Station. Beach space starts filling in the early evening, so get there about an hour before the show and leave time for the food stalls.
