Malta International Fireworks Festival Dates Announced
Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) announced the dates for the 21st edition of the renowned Malta International Fireworks Festival. This spectacular event has gained a huge following and is keenly awaited by the Global Fireworks Industry. It is an event produced solely and exclusively by the MTA and will take place April 17 – 30, 2022.
Malta is famous amongst LGBTQ+ travelers as one of the most gay friendly countries in the world. Queer citizens are afforded the same constitutional rights as everyone else here, and it is extremely safe for gay visitors. There is a thriving nightlife scene, and it hosts breathtaking natural beauty unique to the Mediterranean. Layer in the Fireworks Festival and you have the perfect spring getaway!
The theme for this year’s festival is “A Night With Legends”; inspired by late music legends. In fact, each competition participant will be asked to select the Musical Score for the PyroMusical Display from the likes of Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Freddie Mercury and many more!
For this year’s festival there will be nine PyroMusical Displays competing against each other, and seventy-two Local Licensed Fireworks Factories & Clubs organizing traditional fireworks displays. A PyroMusical Display is the combination of a pyrotechnical display synchronized with music. The Malta International Fireworks Festival is unique because apart from the PyroMusical Displays, they include these Traditional handmade Maltese Fireworks, when local participants will have an opportunity to showcase their artisanal expertise which cannot be compared to the machine-produced fireworks.
Judges will be elected from the board of the International Symposium of Fireworks and the let-off of all the fireworks will be from the sea, a special setting which is also important in relation to the Symposium.
The event will be hosted in seven different locations over different days, three of which will host a competition between foreign and local competitors. The last day of the festival is the ‘Grand Finale’ where the Malta Tourism Authority takes the opportunity to announce the winner chosen by the Jury.
