Summary
Roughly 4,000 shells launch over 60 minutes from 7:30 pm on August 15, 2026, from the Yoshino River riverbed upstream of the Okawa Bridge in Gojo City, Nara. Music-synced lasers cross the sky with the bursts, and the daytime Gojo Festival adds food stalls and prefectural specialty shops near the venue.
Overview
The 52nd Yoshino River Festival's evening fireworks run from 7:30 pm for an hour on August 15, 2026, from the riverbed just upstream of the Okawa Bridge in Gojo City. Lasers fired in time with the music cut across the bursts, and the river surface reflects the whole show. The daytime festival brings antenna shops of regional specialties and food stalls around the venue, so an afternoon visit flows naturally into the evening display. JR Gojo Station is a 10-minute walk south, paid seating is available, and city-run lots dot the area for drivers.
