74th Omura Nagoshi Fireworks Display

Summary

The 74th Omura Nagoshi Fireworks take place at the boat-race course waters off Omura City, Nagasaki, on Saturday, August 1, 2026. Some 3,000 shells rise against the backdrop of Usu Island and Mishima Ohashi Bridge in Omura Bay — a display that drew about 6,000 visitors in 2025. Uniquely, the show starts only after the last flight has landed or departed at Nagasaki Airport, letting the airport's glow share the frame with the fireworks. The venue is 25 minutes on foot from JR Omura Station or a prefectural bus to Omura City Hall-mae plus a 10-minute walk; free parking is limited, so public transport is recommended.

Overview

From the boat-race waters on Omura Bay, 3,000 fireworks fill the night. The signature of this display is its timing: the show begins only after the last flight at Nagasaki Airport has taken off or landed. Rising once the comings and goings of aircraft have quieted, the shells borrow two backdrops at once — the lights of the airport and the water of Omura Bay — with the silhouettes of an island and a long bridge folded into the scene, a view few other venues can offer. Reach the venue by a 25-minute walk from JR Omura Station, or by prefectural bus to Omura City Hall-mae and a 10-minute walk. Free parking exists but is limited, so public transport is the recommended choice. Food stalls line the shore, making the early-evening wait along the waterfront part of the fun. Confirm the latest information from the organizer, the Omura City Convention and Visitors Association, before setting out.
