Pohang International Fireworks Festival: A Yeongildae Outing Paired with Fireworks
The International Fireworks Show on November 21 and seaside walks for the daytime
If you'd like to explore the Yeongildae area while you're in town for the Pohang International Fireworks Festival, plan the fireworks and a daytime walk separately. The 2026 festival is scheduled for November 19 to 21 around Yeongildae Beach, and the International Fireworks Show is listed for the final day, Saturday the 21st. This is a short trip list that combines one fireworks program with two walks nearby.
At Yeongildae, you can take in the beach and the view of the sea pavilion, while at Hwanho Park you'll find Space Walk, a winding steel walkway sculpture. Walking along the sea and seeing the sculpture in the park make for two different kinds of sights. If you plan to climb Space Walk, check Pohang City's operating status for that day first.
The specific start time and viewing areas for the International Fireworks Show aren't in the overview released so far. The walking spots introduced here are daytime outing options, not official fireworks viewing areas. Schedule your daytime visit and meals first, then set your evening plans according to follow-up information from the Pohang Cultural Foundation, and you'll be able to link the fireworks show at the heart of your trip with sightseeing around it at a relaxed pace.

2026 Pohang International Fireworks Festival International Fireworks Show
This is the program to check first when choosing the dates for your Pohang trip. The Pohang Cultural Foundation lists the festival period as November 19 to 21, with the International Fireworks Show planned for Saturday the 21st. It's best not to plan as if the same fireworks show runs all three days.
It's an event where you enjoy fireworks against the backdrop of the sea and the city's night views. The materials released so far don't include a start time or viewing area layout, so wait for follow-up information before planning to arrive at a specific time. The featured image is a collection of the festival's past promotional photos.

Yeongildae Beach Walk Before the Light Festival
A Yeongildae Beach Walk Before the Fireworks Festival
Yeongildae is both the main venue of this festival and a downtown Pohang beach that's great for walking while looking out at the sea. Slowly taking in the beach scenery and wandering over toward the sea pavilion turns your wait for the fireworks into a scene from your trip.
Try splitting your time by enjoying the coastline and sea during the day and the lights of the surrounding city in the evening. Festival installations or closures may mean using a different route from the usual walking path, so plan on entering the pavilion only if it's open on site. The photo shows the beach's usual representative scenery.

Hwanho Park Space Walk, a Stop Alongside the Light Festival
Hwanho Park Space Walk to Visit Along with the Fireworks Festival
If you'd like to see a different side of Pohang before the fireworks begin, add Hwanho Park Space Walk to your options. It's a place where a winding steel structure stretches above the park, letting you experience Pohang's spaces with a different feel from a beach walk.
This isn't an official fireworks viewing area but a separate daytime outing spot. If you plan to climb the structure, check Pohang City's operating status for that day first. It works well to schedule the park visit and your evening move to Yeongildae separately, leaving plenty of travel time on crowded days.

To see the fireworks on November 21, set your evening plans according to the Pohang Cultural Foundation's follow-up schedule. Finishing your Space Walk visit and beach stroll first, with time left for meals and getting around, keeps you from overpacking your day.
