Busan Fireworks Festival

🗓️ 2026.11.07 ~ 2026.11.07

The Busan Fireworks Festival is South Korea’s representative maritime multimedia fireworks festival, staged in the Gwangalli Beach and Gwangandaegyo Bridge area. It began with a celebratory fireworks show commemorating the 2005 APEC Summit and has since become a representative autumn cultural event of Busan. This year marks the festival’s 21st anniversary.

The festival presents a large-scale maritime multimedia show in which music and fireworks harmonize, utilizing the Gwangandaegyo Bridge’s special lighting and large-scale production systems. Through original production techniques, large-scale fireworks launches, and the geographic characteristics of Gwangalli’s night sea, it has established itself as a global festival visited by numerous domestic and international spectators every year. This year’s event, marking the 21st anniversary, is expected to decorate Busan’s night sky through further refined storytelling and maritime fireworks production.

Gwangalli Beach is a 1.4-kilometer stretch of sand on the southeastern side of Busan, in the Gwangan-dong area of Suyeong-gu. It is smaller in scale than Haeundae Beach, and the shoreline curves around Gwangan Bay in a way that keeps most of the beach within sight of the water. The Gwangan Bridge crosses the bay directly in front of the sand. It is a road bridge with two tall pylons, and it is lit at night by a programmed LED display that runs through a cycle of colors.

The promenade behind the beach is built up with cafés, seafood restaurants, and bars, with a low seawall that people use for sitting and watching the water. During the day, the beach is used for swimming and walking. Jet skis operate from one section of the bay, and there is enough space on the sand for visitors who want to stay on land.

Gwangalli is also one of the main public viewing areas for the Busan Fireworks Festival. The event launches fireworks from barges over the water near the bridge, so the display is visible from most points along the beach. Because the bay is open and the bridge and city lights sit behind the launch area, spectators see the fireworks in the same frame as the surrounding waterfront. For the 2026 festival, the setup is expected to follow this arrangement: sand, promenade, and boats will function as separate but connected viewing spaces, with the bridge as a fixed part of the scene.
