The 2026 Yeosu Fireworks Festival is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 31st, at the Yeosu World Expo Site. This annual event illuminates the night sky of Yeosu, and this year, the festival venue has changed from the previous year, requiring visitors to check the updated location in advance. The fireworks show will be accompanied by a drone light show, along with various pre-show and post-show performances.
The festival runs from 7:00 PM to 9:10 PM, with the main fireworks display lasting approximately 35 minutes, from 8:00 PM to 8:35 PM. Pre-show performances and the opening ceremony will be held at the Expo Ocean Plaza main stage, while the fireworks will be launched from the sea in front of the Expo Site. The city of Yeosu has designated four official viewing zones: Expo Ocean Plaza, Aqua Planet Plaza, Expo Park, and Odongdo. Breakwaters and piers near the fireworks launch area will be restricted.
Bloggers recommend arriving early to enjoy the pre-show performances in addition to the fireworks. This year's festival coincides with the Yeosu World Island Exhibition, suggesting a day itinerary that combines visiting the exhibition during the day and the fireworks festival in the evening. Bringing pets is not recommended due to the loud explosions, and visitors are advised to check official announcements for any traffic control or temporary parking arrangements closer to the event date.
