Miyazaki Aoshima International Beer Festival — enjoy events and fireworks with a beer in hand
The confirmed fireworks launch dates for this festival are listed below.
The Miyazaki Aoshima International Beer Festival returns for its 19th year on August 22–23, 2026, at the hotel-side plaza of Kodomo no Kuni in Aoshima. Tsingtao beer and local Miyazaki food anchor two evenings of stage events, capped by 10-minute fireworks at 19:50 each night — with a combined crowd of about 5,000 expected across the weekend.
This is a two-day celebration of beer and food in Aoshima, the home of Tsingtao's Japan brewery, and 2026 marks its 19th edition. Each evening builds from the friendship ceremony and stage program into a 10-minute fireworks display at 19:50 that closes the night. Attendance is projected at around 5,000 across both days, which keeps the plaza comfortable rather than crushing. Getting there is simple: the venue sits immediately beside JR Kodomo no Kuni Station, so the train beats driving. A paid lot of 130 spaces exists for those who do come by car, but early arrival matters. For the latest timetable and stall lineup, the Miyazaki City tourism site carries the details. A cold beer in hand while the night sky lights up over Aoshima is a fitting way to end the summer.
