Fireworks fest at Riverbanks Center

Riverbanks Center in Marikina City once again hosts the Philippine National Fireworks Festival, now in its 4th year, where seasoned pyro-musical geniuses compete for prize and prestige.

All Saturday evenings, April 18 and 25, will see the skies of Marikina lit up by an explosion of colors and images synchronized with music, as competitors from all over the country showcase their creativity and talent. After the three-day series of elimination rounds, the winning groups will then compete in the grand finals on May 2 at 7-8 p.m., where spectators will enjoy a sumptuous buffet dinner capped by performances of surprise celebrity guests and jaw-dropping numbers from the best of the best competitors for this year. The show will open with a presentation to signal the magical interpretations of this year’s competition plus a performance by last year’s grand champion.

Filipinos have time and again proven that we can beat our peers from anywhere in the world, winning trophies abroad, including competitions in pyrotechnics. But if they have been relegated to providing intermission and opening numbers in some locally hosted international competitions, here at Riverbanks Center, they will take center stage, giving the audience an eyeful of amazing numbers.

To get the best view of the fireworks display, ticketed seats are available at P50 only during the elimination rounds and P100 for the finals while the show with buffet is at P400. Tickets are now available at the Riverbanks Mall Customer Service Counter. A 25-percent discount is extended to early patrons if tickets are purchased before April 25. Families will experience Christmas and New Year revelry this early at Riverbanks Center.
