53rd Yonago Gaina Festival Fireworks Display

Summary

Yonago's summer festival, the Gaina-sai, closes on August 9, 2026 with about 4,000 fireworks launched from the quayside of Yonago Port from 20:00. The three-day festival, including its eve, fills the city with taiko drums, lanterns and parades. Because the venue is the harbor quay itself, the fireworks and their reflection on the water sit close together. Around 70,000 people attend; there is no parking near the venue, so come by rail — Goto Station is a 20-minute walk — and check the official site for the latest program.

Overview

The 53rd Gaina-sai Fireworks take place on August 9, 2026 at Yonago Port's quayside in Tottori, opening at 20:00 with roughly 4,000 shells as the finale of the three-day festival. The festival program — taiko, mantou lanterns, the Gaina CON parade and more — leads up to the night. The venue has no parking; the harbor is a 20-minute walk from JR Goto Station, so rail access is the baseline. Food stalls line the port area on the day, and the official site carries the latest schedule. After the finale, crowds funnel toward the station, so allow extra time for the trip home.
