Held annually along the southern coast of Tomigusuku City, this community fireworks festival launches several thousand shells over the sea, drawing large crowds from Naha and the surrounding southern municipalities. The flat beachside viewing area offers unobstructed sightlines, and local food stalls line the promenade with Okinawan snacks and cold Orion beer. The display typically lasts around 45 minutes and features synchronized music segments. Families spread out picnic sheets well before dusk to claim prime spots along the waterfront.
