Busan Fireworks Festival: Programs Worth Catching from Day to Night
Fireworks Street, the air show, and the main show on November 7, plus traffic information
If you want to enjoy the Busan Fireworks Festival from the daytime on November 7, 2026, break it down by each program's time slot. This list covers the International Guest and Busan Multi Fireworks Shows, the Black Eagles air show, Fireworks Street, the Fireworks Prologue, and traffic control information. These five entries help you decide whether to focus on the main night show or join in from the daytime street events.
Fireworks Street runs from 13:00 to 16:00, the air show from 16:00 for 10 minutes, and the prologue from 18:00 to 18:50. After the International Guest Fireworks Show at 19:00, there's an intermission from 19:15 to 19:25, followed by the Busan Multi Fireworks Show and the curtain call until 20:00. The whole prologue segment isn't continuous fireworks, so look at it separately from the main show.
Since the event takes place around Gwangalli Beach, Igidae, and Dongbaekseom Island, it's a good idea to decide on your arrival route and the direction you'll head home as well. If you're staying from the daytime, leave time for meals and breaks, and check the traffic control map for the sections you'll travel through. We put this together so you can look at the performance schedule and traffic information side by side to plan your day.

Busan Fireworks Festival International Guest & Multi Fireworks Show
Busan Fireworks Festival International Guest and Multi Fireworks Shows
The main night fireworks kick off from 19:00 to 19:15 with the International Guest Fireworks Show by SUNNY from China. From 19:15 to 19:25 there's an intermission for a system check, so even if the fireworks pause for a moment, the event isn't over.
The Busan Multi Fireworks Show follows from 19:25 to 19:55, featuring a Niagara fall and 25-inch aerial shells, among others. The final 5 minutes are curtain call fireworks to thank the citizens and staff. Knowing the order of the show helps you better appreciate the differences between each scene.

Busan Fireworks Festival Black Eagles Air Show
If you'd also like to see a show in the bright sky, add the 16:00 Black Eagles air show to your plans. The official schedule lists 10 minutes of aerobatics by the Republic of Korea Air Force's special flight team from 16:00 to 16:10.
It's an easy program to miss if you only think about the 19:00 night fireworks and arrive late. You can split your time by watching the air show first, then having dinner and a break before joining the night event. Air shows are affected by the weather, so check the festival's same-day announcements before you head out.

Busan Fireworks Festival Fireworks Street
If you're getting to the Gwangalli area early, fill your daytime with Fireworks Street. From 13:00 to 16:00 there's busking, chalk art, activity booths, and more, a program that lets you enjoy the festival atmosphere in a different way from the night sky show.
Planning to watch the street performances and drop by booths that catch your interest helps break up the long wait. Participation requirements and locations can vary from booth to booth, so go by the on-site guidance when choosing. If you're staying for the main night show, it's best to leave some time to sit down and rest along the way.

Busan Fireworks Festival Fireworks Prologue
If you want to soak up the build-up to the night fireworks, add the 18:00 Fireworks Prologue to your plans. The official schedule includes preview fireworks and citizen messages from 18:00 to 18:50, making it a reason to arrive earlier than the 19:00 main show.
That doesn't mean fireworks are launched continuously for those 50 minutes. After the prologue, the opening ceremony follows from 18:50 to 19:00, and then the International Guest Fireworks Show begins. Choose your evening arrival time based on whether you'd rather have a quiet dinner and focus on the main show, or join in the pre-show atmosphere too.

Busan Fireworks Festival Traffic Control Information
To wrap up your fireworks viewing comfortably, look at your route home as well as how you'll arrive. The festival's official traffic control guide lays out closures by road and section, which is more helpful than planning your trip based only on your usual car navigation route.
Closure times vary by section, so it's more accurate not to simplify it as every road closing at a single time. Zoom in on the image or open the original map to find the sections closest to your destination first. Decide whether to drive and where to get dropped off by considering where you're staying and which direction you're heading home.
