Overview

The Tomie Festival, held in the Tomie district of Goto City, Nagasaki, reaches its 50th edition in 2026. On Tuesday, August 11, from 21:00 to 21:30, about 800 fireworks are launched from a breakwater in the bay, framing the night sky over the water. Because the shells rise from a breakwater in the bay, the display reads differently depending on where you stand around the festival grounds — part of the charm of a small-island hanabi night. Stage performances of dance, drums and brass-band music plus food stalls add to the festivities, drawing local residents alongside homecoming families and travelers. There are only about 30 parking spaces, so the smoother plan is to come by ferry and share a car from Fukue Port, about 25 minutes away. Check the organizer's announcements for the latest schedule.
