The Pattaya International Fireworks Festival 2025 will return for 2 unforgettable nights of color, music, and seaside celebration at Pattaya Central Beach on Friday–Saturday, November 28–29, 2025.

This year’s festival is held under the theme “The Light of Eternal Loyalty”, in tribute to HM Queen Sirikit, The Queen Mother. The event invites both Thai and international tourists to wear one of the eight styles of traditional Thai royal attire (with a black ribbon) to honor the occasion. Otherwise, all attendees can dress in modest, calm-toned clothing and avoid bright or flashy colors.

Event Date: 28-29 November 2025

Province: Chonburi

A Sky Ablaze with International Pyrotechnic Magic

In remembrance of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother’s remarkable contributions to Thai culture, the event features a touching tribute through Khon, Thailand’s traditional masked dance drama, one of the cultural legacies she worked tirelessly to preserve. Before the show begins, guests are invited to observe a one-minute silence to honor Her Majesty, followed by a breathtaking firework display titled “The Light of Eternal Loyalty”, symbolizing the everlasting love and respect of the Thai people.

Adding to the heartfelt atmosphere, a live symphony orchestra performs royal compositions alongside visuals of Her Majesty’s lifelong devotion and royal duties. Attendees are encouraged to wear traditional Thai attire inspired by royal designs, with subdued tones and black ribbons as a sign of respect. The venue also features a special exhibition displaying her royal initiatives and the invaluable roles she held as the Queen of Thailand and lifelong companion of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great.

Beyond Fireworks: A Festival by the Sea

The event transforms Pattaya Beach into a vibrant festival zone, offering:

• Live music from bands and DJs near the main viewing area
• Food stalls serving grilled seafood, mango sticky rice, pad Thai, and more
• Cultural dance shows and performances
• Family-friendly activities and souvenir vendors lining the shore

What to Know Before You Go

Book Hotels & Viewing Spots Early

High demand is expected, and beachfront hotels book fast. Pre-booking ensures you don’t miss front-row views—especially those offering balconies overlooking the bay.

Plan for Road Closures

Pattaya Beach Road will shut down from 3 PM onwards on both festival days. Avoid delays by opting for taxis, scooters, or walking, especially if staying nearby.

Pack Smart & Stay Comfortable

Bring beach mats or chairs, light layers (it can get breezy at night), sunscreen, insect repellent, and water. Grab snacks or street food early from beachfront stalls to keep energized during the wait.

Why This Festival Stands Out

• Free to Attend: Open to all—just show up and enjoy the show
• International Competition: Firework teams from countries like Japan and the Philippines compete nightly
• Cultural & Culinary Fusion: Enjoy Thai food, music, and beachside fun beside the ocean
• Tourism Booster: A major highlight in Pattaya’s calendar, drawing over 100,000 visitors and supporting local businesses each year 

Why You Shouldn't Miss the event

The Pattaya International Fireworks Festival 2025 is more than just fireworks. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, it’s a spectacular way to experience Thailand before the year ends.
