About
Every year, Pohang, known as the “City of Fire and Light,” hosts the Pohang International Fireworks Festival, one of the city’s signature cultural events. The festival began in 2004 as a fireworks display held to celebrate Pohang Citizens Day. Its theme was inspired by the “light” of Pohang’s steel industry and the “fire” of its blazing furnaces. Over the years, the festival has grown into an international event featuring leading fireworks teams from around the world. More recently, it has expanded beyond fireworks to include media façade shows, nighttime parades, and other cultural and artistic programs that reflect the city’s industrial identity. With Pohang’s coastline and urban spaces as its stage, the festival offers residents and visitors plenty to see and do. It also helps raise Pohang’s profile and boost its competitiveness as a nighttime tourism destination.
