Pohang International Fireworks Festival (포항국제불빛축제)

The Pohang International Fireworks Festival is one of South Korea's prominent outdoor pyrotechnic events, held annually along the Hyeongsan River in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province. Teams from South Korea and abroad compete with choreographed fireworks displays set to music, drawing large crowds to the riverbanks each summer. The surrounding festival grounds host food stalls, cultural performances, and light installations, making it a full evening event rather than a single show. Visitors typically arrive early to secure riverside viewing spots. Public transport connections from Pohang Station make the venue accessible without a car.
