Keino-Matsubara Fireworks Festival

The Keino-Matsubara Fireworks Festival (慶野松原花火大会, Keino Matsubara Hanabi Taikai) is a spectacular annual event held in late July near Keinomatsubara Beach on Awaji Island. With over 3,000 fireworks launched just 200 meters from the shoreline, the show offers an unforgettable display of vibrant colors lighting up the sky. The fireworks are set against the serene backdrop of the sea, creating a stunning visual experience as the lights reflect off the water, making it a truly magical setting. Spectators can enjoy the show while lounging on the soft sand, making it an ideal way to spend a summer evening.

The festival has become a cherished summer tradition, drawing families, friends, and couples who come to the beach with picnic blankets, snacks, and cameras to capture the beauty of the event. As the day turns into night, the beach is transformed into a lively scene filled with excitement and joy. The combination of the dazzling fireworks, the sound of the explosions, and the shimmering reflections on the water creates an immersive experience for visitors of all ages. The event’s vibrant atmosphere and breathtaking views make it one of the highlights of Awaji Island’s summer season.
