Fireworks on Gozo

pink fireworks on gozo

The art of fireworks is nothing new for the people of Gozo. Fireworks are part of our tradition and have been used for many centuries.

The old tradition to make fireworks shows has been going for years and years. Their main usage was during a village feast. The locals are always ready for a challenge. The sense of competition was and still is present between neighboring villages. Feast participants like to compete on the amount of fireworks fired, and the quality of the show. 

Throughout the years the local custom has expanded to more than just village feasts. Fireworks shows are used in Easter celebration, New Year’s Eve, and also during weddings. On a yearly basis, the Malta International Fireworks Festival is conducted at different locations around the island. The festival displays a professional show with colored fireworks patterned over a dark night sky synchronized with music. One of the festivals demonstrations is performed on Gozo.
