The 45th Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival
This year marks the return of the famed Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival, a beloved event held on August 8, 2026. As one of Tokyo's prominent fireworks displays, it will light up the night sky starting at 7:30 PM, featuring 10,000 dazzling fireworks!
The festival, which is celebrated under the banner of a charity event for the Great East Japan Earthquake and Kyushu disaster recovery, has been an integral part of Tokyo's summer landscape for decades. This event takes place at the Jingu Gaien area, home to the Meiji Jingu Gaien Stadium and the Chichibunomiya Rugby Stadium, making it the only major fireworks display within Tokyo's Yamanote Line that combines stunning visuals with live concert performances.
Last year’s festival featured a spectacular lineup including artists like Yoko Oginome and wacci, along with a memorable collaboration involving Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s hit song “Summer Shadow.” The grand finale was highlighted by Koda Kumi's performance of “Cutie Honey,” which synchronized with the fireworks launch, creating an electrifying atmosphere that thrilled the audience.
This year, attendees can expect another stellar roster of artists to take the stage, though specific details will be revealed in due course. The excitement is building as festival organizers promise a night filled with captivating performances and breathtaking pyrotechnics.
