Fireworks are single-use tools in Fisch that launch into the sky and burst into color when lit. They double as a signal flare, helping nearby friends spot your location, though that only works when you are already close together. During Fischfest, they also matter for a different reason. Marina’s main quest line asks you to hand in fireworks, so tracking them down becomes one of the first real tasks on the beach island.
Quick answer: Buy a Firework from the Travelling Merchant’s boat for 130C$. The merchant appears at random across islands, including Sunstone and Moosewood, so check those spawn points until the boat is docked.
Where to buy Fireworks in Fisch
The only reliable source for Fireworks is the Travelling Merchant. This is a roaming boat vendor that does not sit in one fixed place. Instead, it cycles between islands and stays for a limited window before moving on. When the boat is present, you can walk up, open its shop, and purchase a Firework directly.
During Fischfest, the merchant has been spotted around the active map, including Sunstone and Moosewood. Because the spawn is random, there is no set timer you can rely on. The practical approach is to keep checking the common docking spots while you work through other event tasks.

How to get Fireworks for the Fischfest quest
Marina starts the Fischfest main quest line once you reach the beach island and speak with Captain Conch first. Part of her collection stage asks for fireworks alongside fish and water balloons. Since the merchant is the only seller, you cannot fish these up or find them washing onto the shore. You buy them, then turn them in.
Note: The fireworks task is one piece of a longer chain. Finishing the full main quest through Captain Conch and Marina, including the fish and water balloon steps, is what eventually unlocks the Magical Conch and later progress on the island.
How to use a Firework and confirm it worked
Once a Firework sits in your hotbar, equip it and ignite it. It shoots upward and explodes into a burst of colors in the sky. That visible launch is your confirmation. The item is consumed in the process, so the slot empties after a single use.
As a signal, the explosion can help a friend locate you, but only over a short distance. If a teammate is far across the map, the firework will not lead them to you. For the Fischfest quest, you do not light the fireworks yourself. You carry them in your inventory and deliver them to Marina, who counts them toward the collection goal.
Why you cannot find Fireworks
If fireworks are not showing up for you, the cause is almost always the merchant. The boat spawns randomly and does not stay docked permanently, so an empty shoreline simply means it has not arrived or has already moved on. Keep cycling between the islands where it appears and try again after a short wait.
- The Travelling Merchant boat is not currently docked at the island you are on.
- You do not have 130C$ available for each purchase.
- You are trying to fish or dig for fireworks instead of buying them, which does not work.
Stock up while the merchant is present. Because each Firework is consumed on a single use, buying a few extra in one visit saves you from chasing the boat again later in the Fischfest quest line.
