[Pretty green flames]

Hi there

3 years ago i went to Malta (Gozo) for our summer holiday with my familiy. There we enjoyed VERY (2hours+) long pyrotechnic displays. Even during the day. So my question is, does anyone have a list of their festivals where fireworks are involved.

I'd apriciate it if anyone could post it here or email them to me (jaka.levanic@volja.net).

Thanks

Try looking on www.searchmalta.com or www.aboutmalta.com

I'm sure one of them will have a list of major festas involving a few fireworks

Quick bit of history - Malta was the place I first saw fireworks and I've loved them ever since. I still remember the noise, the smell and all the pretty coloured lights in the sky. Wonderful stuff

Might pop over myself .... should be one hell of a weekend . I wonder if it's possible to get to talk to some of the factories ???? My friend Charlie was holidaying in Gozo and found one of the pyros who had a little business there very glad to talk to anyone who had a genuine interest.

Just looking around and found this - http://www.maltafire...ex2/index2.html

Makes interesting reading. I like the bit about there being about 33 licenced firework factories on the island. It's about the size of the Isle of White! Wonder how many unlicenced factories there are.....

21 Of the best of those are firing on 29 April over a few days, it will be a show not to miss!

[Pretty green flames]

So basicly 21 factories are going to have a shoot in 2 days time.

Gonna have every thing on tape.
