The 2026 Yeosu Fireworks Festival is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 31, from 7:00 PM to 9:10 PM, at the Yeosu World Expo Site. A key change this year is the relocation of the event venue to the Yeosu World Expo Site, differing from previous years. The festival will feature a 35-minute maritime fireworks display, alongside pre-show performances, an opening ceremony, and post-show entertainment.
The fireworks display itself will run from 8:00 PM to 8:35 PM, divided into two parts: a 10-minute performance by an international team and a 25-minute performance by a Korean team. Yeosu City has designated four official viewing zones: Expo Ocean Plaza, Aqua Planet Plaza, Expo Park, and Odongdo. For those wishing to enjoy both the performances and fireworks, Expo Ocean Plaza is recommended, while Aqua Planet Plaza or Expo Park are ideal for focusing solely on the fireworks. Certain breakwaters and piers near the fireworks launch site will be restricted areas.
Bloggers emphasize the importance of checking the updated venue at the Yeosu World Expo Site and preparing for potential traffic congestion and parking restrictions on the day of the festival. They suggest arriving early to enjoy the various pre- and post-show performances. The festival is highlighted as an excellent opportunity for families and couples to create special memories against the backdrop of Yeosu's night sea.
