The 21st Yoshinogari Town 'Summer' Friendship Festival Fireworks Display — can be viewed inside the venue, letting you enjoy the fireworks right up close
Yoshinogari Town's summer Fureai Festival fills the Fureai Hiroba of Yoshinogari Historical Park in Saga on Saturday, July 25, 2026. The park, built around one of Japan's largest-class moated settlement ruins, hosts water-gun making, mountain-bike rides, stage events and performances of the local Akakuma Daiko drums, followed by bon dancing and fireworks — about 330 shells in a brisk 15 minutes from 20:00. The venue is a 15-minute walk from JR Yoshinogari-koen Station's north exit.
Daytime at the festival leans into the archaeological-park setting: craft and bike experiences for kids, stage shows, and the town's traditional drum troupe. As night falls, bon dancing circles the big yagura, and the day ends with a compact 15-minute fireworks program of about 330 shells from 20:00 to 20:15, briefly painting the sky above the historic grounds. Parking needs attention: the West and East gate lots close at 18:00, and the Shin-Nishi lot is unavailable on festival day — use the North Gate area or temporary lots, and confirm details with the organizers. The venue is a 15-minute walk from the north exits of JR Yoshinogari-koen or Kanzaki Station, and about 5 minutes by car from the Higashi-Sefuri IC on the Nagasaki Expressway. Food stalls take cash.
