October 31 Yeosu Night Sea Fireworks Festival: 7 Tips on Viewing Zones and Visiting
Fireworks times, 4 official viewing zones, traffic closures, and free parking
If you're wondering where to watch the 2026 Yeosu Night Sea Fireworks Festival, look at the official viewing zones and travel information together. The event takes place on Saturday, October 31 around the Yeosu Expo site, with performances, the opening ceremony, and a fireworks show over the sea running from 19:00 to 21:10. We've organized seven entries covering the fireworks, four viewing zones, and transportation and parking information.
The fireworks show is listed as an international guest team for 12 minutes from 20:00, then, after an 8-minute break, the Korean team from 20:20 to 20:35. The viewing zones are the Expo Ocean Plaza, Aqua Planet Plaza, Expo Park, and Odongdo Island. Compare each zone's location and features depending on whether you want to see the performances too and which direction you'll come in and leave.
After choosing a viewing zone, it's a good idea to also check traffic closures, bus information, and the free parking and exit conditions for each lot. Please read the festival's free admission and each parking lot's conditions separately. The venue is the Yeosu Expo site, so set your travel destination carefully so you don't confuse it with the Jinmo district in Dolsan, the main venue of the Island Expo.

Starting at 20:00: Fireworks over the Sea by Two Teams
On Saturday, October 31, an international guest team and a Korean team put on fireworks shows over the sea in front of the Yeosu Expo site. Part 1 is 20:00–20:12 and part 2 is 20:20–20:35, with an 8-minute intermission in between.
The fireworks time slot is 35 minutes in total, and the two teams' shows add up to 27 minutes. The pre-show performance and opening ceremony start earlier, so decide your arrival time based on whether you want to enjoy the stage too or focus on the fireworks.

2026 Yeosu Fireworks Festival Expo Ocean Plaza Viewing Zone
Ocean Plaza, Where You Can See the Performances and Opening Ceremony
The Expo Ocean Plaza is the official viewing zone with the main stage. The pre-show performance from 19:00 to 19:45 is followed by the opening ceremony from 19:45 to 20:00, so you can enjoy stage programs even before the fireworks begin.
The post-show performance continues from 20:35 to 21:10 after the fireworks end, so you can build your evening around the stage. If you want to experience the performers' shows and the opening atmosphere, look at this zone's location and viewing area first.

2026 Yeosu Fireworks Festival Aqua Planet Plaza Viewing Zone
The Outdoor Plaza in Front of Aqua Planet
The plaza in front of Aqua Planet Yeosu is the second viewing zone on the official map. Get your bearings using the aquarium building's exterior, then head to the outdoor viewing area marked on the map.
You might also consider exploring the aquarium during the day and watching the fireworks in the evening. However, indoor aquarium tickets are separate, and you can't go into the closed sections near the Sinhang Passenger Terminal and the Coast Guard pier, so check the access routes to the viewing zone on the map as well.

The Expo Park Viewing Area on the Official Map
Expo Park is a park area marked as viewing zone ③, separate from the Ocean Plaza and Aqua Planet Plaza. On the attached official map, you can compare the relative locations of the three zones and Odongdo Island at a glance.
Decide which bus stop or parking lot you'll arrive at, then look at which direction to head to the viewing area. Choose it separately from a plan to watch the main stage performances up close, and get around based on the closed sections and open paths marked around the park.

2026 Yeosu Fireworks Festival Odongdo Viewing Zone
Odongdo Island, Home to the Sub-Stage
Odongdo Island is the fourth viewing zone on the official map, and a sub-stage is set up there too. The pre-show performance is listed for 19:00–19:45 and the post-show performance for 20:35–21:10, so you can plan on catching performances before and after the fireworks.
If you want to combine an island walk with evening viewing, plan your daytime route with plenty of time to spare. However, the official information doesn't guarantee a view of the fireworks from all of Odongdo Island or from the lighthouse observatory, so you'll need to check the actual viewing area around the sub-stage on site.

2026 Yeosu Fireworks Festival Traffic Control & Bus Guide
Traffic Closures and Buses After 20:35
From 20:35, when the fireworks end, until congestion clears, traffic controls focused on right turns will be in place around the intersections near Expo Station and in front of the Mandeok-dong Community Center. Buses can enter and pass through the intersections, and the last No. 2 bus on the Expo Station–Odongdo entrance section is extended to 23:00.
The Island Expo shuttle runs from 09:00 to 21:30, but from 17:00 its stop moves from Expo Station to the public parking lot in front of the Expo main gate. If you're traveling to and from the Jinmo district in Dolsan, don't assume it's the same stop on the way back; check the stop for each time slot.

2026 Yeosu Fireworks Festival Free Parking & Exit Time Guide
Free Exit Times That Differ by Parking Lot
On event day, 9 temporary and public parking lots with 2,393 spaces are listed as open for free. International Pavilion A·B is listed with free exit between 10:00 and 24:00 and the Gate 1 parking lot between 20:00 and 23:00, so they can't all be used under the same conditions.
Public parking lots are open for free from 09:00 to 23:00, and Sky Tower is also open for free. Use the map to choose a parking lot location together with your direction home, and be careful not to mistake the free exit time for the time free entry begins. This information doesn't guarantee you'll find an open space.

To enjoy the performances as well, check out the pre- and post-show programs at the main stage in the Ocean Plaza or the sub-stage on Odongdo Island. There's an 8-minute break between the two teams' fireworks, so remember not to assume the event is over when part 1 ends.
For your trip home, factor in the traffic closures after 20:35 and the Island Expo shuttle stops that change from 17:00. Free exit conditions differ from lot to lot. The official poster, maps, and place photos are materials to help you understand locations and plan, and they don't guarantee the view from any particular spot.
