Pattaya International Fireworks Festival 2026
Every year in late November, the Pattaya International Fireworks Festival turns Pattaya Bay into an open-air stage. On Friday 27 and Saturday 28 November 2026, international pyrotechnic teams will light up the sky above the sea with choreographed displays set to music.
Two Nights over Pattaya Bay
The festival takes place along Pattaya Beach, with the fireworks launched over the water and visible from the beachfront, Beach Road and the rooftops overlooking the bay. Teams compete on choreography, technical skill and synchronisation with music, often ending with dramatic finales.
A Free Show for Everyone
The fireworks are free to watch, which makes the festival one of the most popular events of the year in Pattaya. Food and drink stalls, music and a festive atmosphere fill the beachfront on both evenings, drawing tens of thousands of Thai and international visitors.

Good to Know
Beach Road and the roads leading into Pattaya usually become very busy on festival nights, with road closures and diversions around the beachfront. Arriving early, or reaching the beach on foot, makes the evening much easier. Rooftop restaurants and bars overlooking the bay offer a more comfortable view, but tables are often booked well in advance.

Where to Stay for the Pattaya Fireworks Festival
Whether you come as a couple, with family or with a group of friends, the festival is easier to enjoy when you can stay close to the beach and away from the crowds once the show is over. A private pool villa gives everyone their own room, a pool for relaxing during the day and a quiet place to return to after the fireworks.
PATTAYA LAND offers a selection of private pool villas in Soi Pattaya Land, near Walking Street and a few minutes from Pattaya Beach, with different capacities to suit couples, families and groups of friends. For larger groups, several nearby villas may be booked together, subject to availability.
Accommodation in Pattaya fills up quickly for the festival weekend, so it is worth planning your stay early.
