Some 4,000 shells feature rapid-fire sequences and set-piece creations, while the bridge itself glows under lantern light.

Overview

The Amagi River Fireworks Display runs from 19:40 to 21:00 on Saturday, August 22, 2026, along the Koishiwara River below Amagi Bridge in Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture. About 4,000 shells go up in a program weighted toward rapid-fire barrages and set-piece fireworks, and the lantern-lit bridge makes a distinctive foreground. When the finale ends, the scene shifts to the water for 'Nagare Kanjo,' a memorial rite that sends 60–70 lanterns drifting down the river. Around 100 stalls line the venue, so the pre-show hours are a festival in themselves. No parking lots are provided for the event — plan to arrive on foot from Amagi Tetsudo Amagi Station (10 minutes) or Nishitetsu Amagi Station (15 minutes). Traffic restrictions apply around the venue from 19:00 to 21:30. Stalls generally take cash, so carry plenty of small bills and coins.
