The 44th Seihi Town Summer Festival

Summary

On August 22, 2026, the Seihi-cho Multi-purpose Sports Park in Saikai City, Nagasaki hosts the closing fireworks of its local summer festival: 423 shells fired in a brisk 15-minute window from 20:15. The festival around it packs in children's games, dance performances, Uzushio taiko drumming and a raffle, with food stalls lining the grounds.

Overview

This is a hometown festival in the Seihi district of Saikai City, and the fireworks are its finale rather than a standalone show. In 2026 the display runs from 20:15 to 20:30 on August 22, and the short 15-minute format keeps the launch site close to the crowd, so the sound and light feel personal rather than distant. Families fill the park from the early evening for the games, dance stage, taiko and raffle. Food stalls mean you can eat dinner on site and walk straight to a viewing spot. Free parking for 350 cars is provided at the Seihi Central Sports Ground, and drivers should arrive before the evening rush. By train, the practical route is a taxi of roughly 30 minutes from JR Huis Ten Bosch or Haiki Station. As with any community-run event, checking the latest announcements from the festival's executive office before you go is wise.
