12th Onna Village Churami Fireworks Festival

Summary

The 12th Onna Village Chura-umi Fireworks — 'chura-umi' is Okinawan for 'beautiful sea' — lights the village community plaza on October 4, 2026, from 8:00 p.m. The free show is the resort coast's own autumn celebration, organized by the village tourism association. Food stalls serve the grounds and parking is arranged; the late start suits Okinawa's warm October evenings and post-dinner arrival.

Overview

Onna, the village that strings Okinawa's west-coast resorts along the sea, keeps an autumn fireworks tradition of its own. The 12th Chura-umi ('beautiful sea' in the local language) Fireworks take the village community plaza on October 4, 2026, beginning 8:00 p.m. — a schedule that fits the island's rhythm, where October evenings stay warm enough for shirtsleeves. The event is free and unticketed, run by the Onna Village Tourism Association, with food stalls around the plaza and event parking arranged. For hotel guests up and down the coast it is a short trip; for independent travelers it pairs naturally with a day along the cape coastline. The village website posts the definitive schedule for the edition. The 8:00 p.m. start leaves the whole beach day free.
