The City of Busan Hosts the 14th Busan Fireworks Festival on October 27

Under the theme of ‘Retro LOVE’, the 14th Busan Fireworks Festival will take place on Saturday, October 27th in the Gwangalli Beach area.

The fireworks show will begin at 8:00 p.m. for one hour. Before the main fireworks show, there will be various events, including street performances, parade, magic show, bubble art show, talk show about the fireworks festival and firework display with the story of selected citizens, to enhance the visitors’ experience.

Fireworks are shot from barges on the sea near Igidae, Gwangalli Beach and Dongbaekseom Island to create a three-dimensional and dynamic fireworks show that people in multiple locations can view. New displays of fireworks will be produced this year.

The Busan Fireworks Festival, held every October around Gwangalli Beach and Gwangandaegyo Bridge attracts roughly 1 million Korean and overseas spectators.
