Busan’s night sky will once again be lit with a spectacular array of fireworks for the annual Busan Fireworks Festival, which will be held from October 25-26.

To commemorate the 50th year since Busan's establishment as a Metropolitan City, a breathtaking fireworks display will take place on October 26, beginning at 8 p.m. at Gwangalli Beach under the theme of “50 years of love.”

The pre-concert for the Busan Fireworks Festival will take place on October 25, at BEXCO auditorium. The City of Busan will co-host the concert with Hyundai Motor Company and will feature many famous Korean singers including Boohwal (rock band), Kim Beom-su, Choi Jeong-won, Yim Jae-beom, and JK Kim Dong-uk.  

This year’s fireworks promise to be bigger and better than ever. “Storytelling fireworks” exploring ‘The past 50 years and the coming 50 years of Busan’ will be on display as well as the famed “Niagara Falls fireworks” cascading off of the Gwangan Bridge. This year’s show will also feature the newly introduced Iguassu Falls fireworks, which are expected to be the highlight of the festival.

A variety of pre-events including a Brazilian percussive performance, music concert, mixed a capella group performance as well as a proposal event for soon-to-be married couples is scheduled to be held on October 26, from 2 p.m. on the Gwangalli Beach roadside.

The City of Busan will give final confirmation for the date of the fireworks based on the weather forecast three days prior to the event.
