Summary

Sakai Old Port in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture hosts SBI Maihanabi in Sakai Ouo Yoichi on Friday, July 31, 2026, with fireworks from 20:20 for about 30 minutes. The show caps the Sakai Ouo Yoichi, a summer market with some 700 years of history dating back to the Kamakura period, and marks the first edition of SBI Maihanabi, the rebrand of the Yumehanabi fireworks beloved in the Senshu region for a decade. Nearby Ohama Park adds auction calls, local food stalls, specialty goods and stage events.

Overview

The fireworks light up the old harbor for about 30 minutes from 20:20, while the night market around Ohama Park runs with live-fish auctions called out fishing-port style, food stalls serving local favorites, booths of Sakai specialties and stage entertainment through the evening. Sakai Station on the Nankai main line is a 10-minute walk from the venue, and with no parking provided, most visitors arrive on foot or by public transport. Paid viewing seats are on sale — advance purchase is the reliable way to secure one, and the latest arrangements are announced on the official event page. Waterfront spots fill steadily as the start approaches, so come with time to spare.

Info for International Visitors

Best arrival time

Reach your waterfront viewing position 30 to 45 minutes before the start. Holders of paid seats should follow signage and be seated early. There is no parking nearby — walking from Nankai Sakai Station or coming by public transport is the practical way.

With kids

The night market and stall areas get crowded and dark falls quickly — set a meeting point with your child. The auction area has busy hands and moving goods, so keep a little distance.

Photography tips

Photos are welcome. Fireworks reflected in the old harbor or the night-market lights in the foreground make for a distinctly Sakai shot. In paid seating, take care not to block others' view.

Payment

The market auctions, food stalls and specialty booths generally take cash, so bring plenty of small bills and coins. For paid seats, buying in advance is the reliable route — check the organizer's latest notice on the official site.
