The third and final night of the Malta Internatio­nal Fireworks Festival unfolded splendidly at the Grand Harbour on Monday evening. This followed previous nights in Gozo and Marsaxlokk.

The event in Valletta kicked off with a concert together with a brass band and talented singers, performing live on a floating stage, accompanie­d by traditiona­l Maltese fireworks. The latter were exhibited by Lourdes Fireworks Factory of San Ġwann, St Philip’s Fireworks Factory of Żebbuġ and St. Michael’s Fireworks Factory of Lija. All three factories exhibited spherical shells (blalen) and cylindrica­l shells (sfejjer).

Immediatel­y after, the judges’ decision was declared. There were four competing firework factories in the pyro-musical section of the festival. The results are as follows:

4th place: Martarello SRL, from

Italy 3rd place: Phoenix Fireworks from the UK 2nd place: St. Mary's Fireworks Factory from Ghaxaq, Malta 1st place: Rozzi Fireworks

from the USA

The crowd was wowed by a breathtaki­ng pyro-musical show exhibited by Pyroemotio­ns. Singers like Glen Vella and Amber performed a medley of Maltese music, in memory of Tony ‘Bayzo’ Camilleri, together with well known tracks by various artists and the late Avicii. The medley was specifical­ly arranged by Elton Zarb. All this was accompanie­d by fireworks let off in the harbour, resulting in an unforgetta­ble spectacle.
