Tatsuno Noryo Fireworks Festival 2026

Why You Should Visit

A fireworks show that caps off summer in Tatsuno, staged on Chidorigahama Park along the Ibo River. A tradition since the postwar years, 2026 marks its 74th edition. Highlights include fireworks mirrored on the river and "message fireworks," where a sender's words are read aloud before the shells go up. Food stalls line the riverside, making it an easy evening outing in a yukata. Paired with the atmospheric old castle town of Tatsuno — known for soy sauce and hand-pulled somen noodles — it's a great pick for families and travellers.
