Tottori Shanshan Festival - Nihonkai Shimbun 50th Anniversary Commemorative '73rd Citizen Summer Fireworks Festival' - Various fireworks can be enjoyed under the theme 'For You, For Tottori.'
The 73rd Shimin Noryo Hanabi Taikai closes the Tottori Shanshan Festival on August 15, 2026, at Chiyo Kawara Shimin Sports Plaza in Tottori City. Starting at 7:50 pm, five music-synced acts carry the theme 'For You, For Tottori.' with roughly 10,000 fireworks; last year drew about 100,000 spectators. There is no paid seating, and Tottori Station is a 15-minute walk with paid shuttle buses also running — there is no parking at the venue.
The show doubles as the festival finale and as a 50th-anniversary commemoration backed by the Nihonkai Shimbun newspaper. The five-part musical structure gives each act its own mood, and the launch count has grown for this edition. Because there is no parking around the plaza, the practical choices are the 15-minute walk from Tottori Station or the paid temporary buses. After the finale, foot traffic funnels toward the station, so allow extra time for the return. Food stalls are on hand if you want dinner on site.
