Nagoya Port Fireworks Festival 2025

Free

Compared to other festivals around the country, with only 3,000 fireworks, the Nagoya Port Fireworks Festival seems relatively small. Despite this, the scenic location for the event and its proximity to Nagoya attract a spectator audience of approximately 370,000 people.

What happens?

Along with the fireworks launching at 7:30 p.m., there are stage performances from 2:30 p.m. at the Garden Pier and two parades. The first parade starts at 3:30 p.m. from Nishitsukiji Elementary School and finishes at 4:30 p.m. at the pier. It features bands and baton twirlers. The other parade starts at 4:30 p.m. from Tsukiji Shrine and features traditional floats, finishing at 8 p.m. at the pier.

Schedule 2025

This festival usually takes place in mid-July. This year, it will be held on July 21 — a national holiday.
