Yokohama Green Expo Support “Minato Mirai Festival” (August 24 – Event Ended)
The 2026 event has ended.
This was the largest fireworks event held in Yokohama and Minato Mirai in August.
In previous years, it was held on the first Monday of August, but in 2026 it was held on August 24.
The fireworks were launched offshore from Rinko Park.
The event had previously been known as the “Minatomirai Smart Festival,” but in 2026 it was renamed the Yokohama Green Expo Support “Minato Mirai Festival.”
Until last year, the Minatomirai Smart Festival was known for its incredible intensity, with around 20,000 fireworks launched in just 25 minutes from 19:30 to 19:55.
However, the 2025 event was canceled midway after a barge fire. In 2026, the number of fireworks and the intervals between launches were reviewed, and the event was held with greater consideration for safety.
