Summary
The Nagayo River Festival closes with fireworks on Sunday, August 23, 2026, from 20:30 — 1,000 shells and a 100-shot rapid barrage lighting the water near Nagayo Port. The festival gives thanks for the Nagayo River, the town's treasured water source, and draws around 29,000 visitors. From JR Nagasaki Station the Nagasaki bus takes about 60 minutes to the Mitsunaga stop right by the venue, and 250 free parking spaces are available.
Overview
This riverside festival in Nagayo Town honors the Nagayo River, the lifeblood of the community, and brings neighbors together each August. Its finale sends 1,000 shells and a 100-shot barrage over the water near Nagayo Port, close enough to the surface that the night water carries the reflections. Food stalls gather around Fureai Hiroba, the festival grounds. From JR Nagasaki Station, the Nagasaki bus (for Mitsunaga or Dozaki) takes about an hour to the Mitsunaga stop, a short walk from the venue; drivers reach it in about 10 minutes from the Nagayo toll-road ramp, where 250 free parking spaces await. Buses and roads crowd up after the show, so plan the return with a little extra time.
