Now in it’s 28th year the Macau International Fireworks Display Contest takes place at the sea area across from the Macau Tower on the 3rd, 10th, 15th and 24th September and 1st October. Ten teams will compete in the year’s event and look to dazzle the Macau skyline with spectacular displays tied to a series of themes: Pyro Fantasia, Tribute to Bond, Mid-Autumn Harmony, Stars from Afar and Celebration in the Sky.

Organised by Macao Government Tourism Office, which again requested teams to choreograph their fireworks displays with music and laser projections, the contest pits globally-acclaimed pyrotechnic companies against each other. This year’s strong line-up of competitors features ten teams from (in order of appearance in the contest): Thailand, Portugal, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, Italy, Canada, Romania and China. The Romanian and Canadian companies are making their Macau debuts while the other eight teams have all entertained and placed well in previous years.
