Following last year’s success, this year’s events shall kick off once again in the picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk on Saturday 25th April. The spectacle will continue on Thursday 30th April in the unique settings of Valletta’s Grand Harbour and the closing display in the tourist hub of Bugibba on Saturday 02nd May with a Pyromusical show.
The festival has rightfully earned the title “International” as over the years it has attracted foreign pyrotechnic companies from as far afield as Australia, Canada and Venezuela and closer to home like, Italy, Austria, Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
Several Maltese and foreign fireworks factories will be taking part in the upcoming Malta International Fireworks Festival, who will together put on a spectacular pyrotechnic show with fantastic fireworks displays synchronized to music. The competitors in this year’s Festival were short listed from a number of applicants.
The foreign participants competing in the International Pyromusical Competition will be Thailand Fireworks from Thailand, and A.P.E. di Parente Romualdo from Italy. The local participants in this competition will be St. Mary Fireworks Factory from Ghaxaq, Lourdes Fireworks Factory from Qrendi and St. Andrew’s Band Fireworks Factory from Luqa.
The participants competing for the National Fireworks Competition will be Lourdes Fireworks Factory from Qrendi, St. Mary Fireworks Complex from Mgarr and Socjeta Piroteknika 15 ta’ Awissu from Mosta. Winners will be conferred with a special trophy according to their ranking, whilst the other participants will receive commemorative trophies.
Our Islands are renowned for the love of fireworks, which form a core part of almost any celebration or event organised, be it secular or religious. This year’s event will prove to be an added reason to visit some of Malta’s most scenic and historic spots during April and May.
