Pohang International Light Festival

*The festival details below are for the previous year (2025), and the details for 2026 are currently being updated.* In Pohang, the "City of Fire and Light," the representative cultural tourism festival, the "Pohang International Fireworks Festival," is held every year. The Pohang International Fireworks Festival began in 2004 with a fireworks show held to commemorate Pohang Citizens' Day, themed around the images of "light," symbolizing Pohang as a world-class steel city, and "fire," symbolizing a hot blast furnace. Since then, it has expanded into an international-scale festival, with famous overseas fireworks teams participating every year. Moving away from a simple focus on "fireworks," the festival content is a celebration of harmony that unfolds in a diverse manner by fusing industrial and cultural elements, such as production performances and light parades.
