Pattaya International Fireworks Festival — 27–28 November 2026, free on Central Beach
Two nights of international fireworks teams over Pattaya Bay, with live orchestra, Khon performances and food stalls — free beachfront viewing from 7 pm to 11:30 pm.
Pattaya's biggest free show returns on Friday–Saturday, 27–28 November 2026: international fireworks teams lighting up the bay above Central Beach, synchronised to music, with a royal tribute display, Khon masked-dance performances, a live symphony orchestra and rows of Thai food stalls along the sand.
Viewing is free along the beachfront both nights from about 7 pm to 11:30 pm. If you've never seen the bay full of boats under the fireworks, this is the weekend Pattaya shows off.
Local tip: beachfront condos book out early for this weekend every year — owners who rent out short-term should mark the dates now.
