Gimhae Gaya Theme Park is once again hosting its annual Multimedia Fireworks Show, combining fireworks, lasers, music, and live entertainment on Saturday evenings through August 15.

The performances begin at 8:30 p.m. each Saturday as part of the park’s summer nighttime program. Set against the backdrop of the recreated Gaya Royal Palace, each show will feature approximately 3,000 fireworks synchronized with music and laser effects.

Before the fireworks begin, visitors can enjoy a live magic performance in Waterfall Plaza, where selected audience members will also have the opportunity to take part in the ceremonial launch of the fireworks display.

Beyond the fireworks, guests can explore the park’s illuminated “Kingdom of Light: Gaya” displays, along with family-friendly attractions including the Night Exciting Cycle, pottery-making workshops, and traditional archery experiences.

The fireworks series will continue into the opening weekend of the 3rd Gimhae Light Festival: Voyage Toward the Light, which runs from August 14–23. The festival’s opening ceremony on August 15 will coincide with the fireworks show and include LED performances, an art market, food vendors, and additional nighttime light installations.

Admission for the Multimedia Fireworks Show is 4,000 won. Organizers note that schedules may change in the event of bad weather or other operational conditions.

Due to the popularity of the event, visitors are encouraged to arrive early. If parking reaches capacity, vehicle access will be temporarily restricted, with traffic and parking updates provided through the park’s official website and social media channels.
