6th Hanabi Kōshien National Firework Master No.1 Championship

Summary

Fireworks Koshien — the 6th national pyrotechnician No. 1 championship — applies tournament format to fireworks mastery at the Laguna resort's beach in Gamagori, Aichi, on November 21, 2026, from 6:30 p.m. Rival fireworks masters trade programmed launches for the crown. Paid seating, food stalls, and resort parking frame a competition night; late November on the Mikawa coast keeps the crowd hardy.

Overview

Imagine a koshien — the all-Japan tournament format beloved of school sport — applied to fireworks masters, and you have the premise of this Gamagori event, now in its sixth year. On November 21, 2026, at the Laguna resort's beach in Gamagori, the country's pyrotechnicians compete for the national No. 1 title from 6:30 p.m.: rival launchers firing in programmed sequence, judged on their craft. The event is built as a ticketed production — paid seating tiers, food stalls in the venue, and the resort's parking capacity — and the competition framing gives the night a narrative arc most festivals lack. The official site carries tickets and the entry list. Dress for late November on the coast; the show is worth the cold.
