Masan Gagopa Chrysanthemum Festival: A Night of Fireworks or Falling Fire, Your Pick
Fireworks on October 31, nakhwa falling fire on November 4, plus chrysanthemum walks and a cinema
If you want to enjoy autumn flowers and then stay for a night by the sea, pick from the evening programs at the Masan Gagopa Chrysanthemum Festival. The 2026 festival runs from October 31 to November 8 at 3·15 Haeyang Nuri Park, Happo Waterfront Park, and Masan Marine New Town. Pair a stroll among the chrysanthemum displays with fireworks, the nakhwa falling-fire show, or the cinema to plan an evening that fits your visit.
The opening multimedia fireworks show is scheduled for 19:30 on October 31, and the nakhwa falling-fire show on the sea for 19:00 on November 4. Since they're on different dates, start by deciding which scene you'd rather see: opening fireworks lighting up the sky, or falling fire over the waterfront. Split your day into flower viewing in the daytime and the evening event, and you'll get to experience the festival's atmosphere in two different ways.
Alongside the fireworks and nakhwa show, this list also covers a chrysanthemum display walk and the Badabit (Sea Light) Chrysanthemum Cinema. Once you've chosen your main evening event, add in time for meals, breaks, and getting between festival sites. Note that the cinema is listed at Festival Site 3, while the fireworks and nakhwa show are at Festival Site 1, so checking where your chosen program takes place makes it much easier to plan your route.

Opening Multimedia Fireworks Show, Masan Gagopa Chrysanthemum Festival
Opening Multimedia Fireworks Show · Masan Gagopa Chrysanthemum Festival
If you want a dazzling first night at the festival, go for the opening multimedia fireworks show. It takes place on Saturday, October 31 at Festival Site 1, 3·15 Haeyang Nuri Park. Keep in mind the difference between 19:00, when the opening ceremony starts, and 19:30, when the fireworks show itself begins.
In the official opening event schedule, the fireworks segment runs from 19:30 to 19:42. Plan your evening travel depending on whether you'll stay for the celebration performance that follows or head home after the fireworks. This program is scheduled on a separate date from the nakhwa falling-fire show on the sea on November 4.

Sea Nakhwa Play, Masan Gagopa Chrysanthemum Festival
Nakhwa Falling-Fire Show on the Sea · Masan Gagopa Chrysanthemum Festival
If you can visit the chrysanthemum festival on a Wednesday evening, keep an eye on the nakhwa falling-fire show on the sea at 19:00 on November 4. Changwon City's main event guide introduces it as a night program at Festival Site 1, 3·15 Haeyang Nuri Park.
It's a great choice for visitors who want a different mood from the opening fireworks shot into the sky. Make a note of the Wednesday date so you don't end up visiting on the weekend just for the nakhwa show. Specific viewing areas and the end time aren't in the public information, so just follow the guide lines on site to find your spot.

Seaside Chrysanthemum Art Walk, Masan Gagopa Chrysanthemum Festival
Chrysanthemum Display Walk by the Sea · Masan Gagopa Chrysanthemum Festival
Taking in the chrysanthemum displays before the evening events lets you enjoy the same place in two moods, by day and by night. The festival uses three areas: 3·15 Haeyang Nuri Park, Happo Waterfront Park, and Masan Marine New Town, so pick out the displays and event locations you want first.
On the day you watch the fireworks or the nakhwa show, focusing on Festival Site 1 keeps your evening travel simple. You don't have to see all three festival sites. A good plan is to give yourself plenty of time for photos and flower viewing while leaving room for a meal and a break before the show.

Sea-Light Chrysanthemum Cinema, Masan Gagopa Chrysanthemum Festival
Badabit (Sea Light) Chrysanthemum Cinema · Masan Gagopa Chrysanthemum Festival
If your visit doesn't line up with the fireworks or nakhwa dates, consider the Badabit Chrysanthemum Cinema as an evening option. From October 31 to November 8, the program is listed as running from 17:00 to 21:00 at Festival Site 3, Masan Marine New Town.
Rather than reading those four hours as the running time of a single film, use them as a guide for finding the films and screening times on the day you visit. It's also in a different location from the fireworks at Festival Site 1, so instead of trying to catch everything at once, it's more relaxing to build your evening around the one program you most want to see. Seating and viewing conditions follow on-site guidance.

If you're after the opening fireworks, plan around October 31; for the nakhwa falling-fire show on the sea, plan around November 4. It works well to enjoy the chrysanthemums during the day and then move on to the evening event, or to keep the cinema at Festival Site 3 as a separate option.
