Pohang International Fireworks Festival

*The food offerings described below are from the 2025 festival, and the 2026 festival food information is currently being updated.* In Pohang, the City of Fire and Light, the Pohang International Fireworks Festival is held every year as a signature cultural tourism event. Inspired by the industrial light symbolizing Pohang, a world-leading steel city, and the fire of its blazing furnaces, the festival began as a fireworks show held in 2004 to celebrate Pohang Citizens’ Day. It has since grown into an international festival featuring an international fireworks show with renowned teams from around the world, along with a wide range of attractions. In recent years, it has expanded beyond fireworks to offer diverse content blending industry with culture and the arts, including media façades and night parades. Making use of Pohang’s maritime scenery and urban spaces, it has also evolved into an interactive festival enjoyed by residents and visitors alike, establishing itself as a leading cultural tourism event that strengthens Pohang’s city brand and competitiveness in nighttime tourism.
