The 31st Macau International Fireworks Display Contest kicked off last night with shows staged by Australian and Swiss companies.
The Australian company Cardile International Fireworks presented a show themed “Thunder of Down Under,” showcasing a symphony of music and fireworks effects and creating symbolic illustrations of native Australian flora, fauna, and landscapes in a symphony with iconic Australian pop, rock, and country hits.
Themed “Icons of Rock”, the fireworks show presented by the Swiss company La Pirotecnica SAGL projected the story of rock music through vibrant colour, patterns and use of creative design combinations.
The contest has been relaunched by the Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) after a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
