The first edition of the Malta Fireworks Festival, one of the most spectacular events Malta has even seen, is sure to delight locals and visitors to the Maltese Islands alike.

The festival will be held at the Grand Harbour on Friday and Saturday evening and will serve as a preview of fireworks let off during the Maltese festa season later in the year.

The festival is being organised by the Product Planning and Development Directorate of the Malta Tourism Authority.

There will be a breathtaking display of ground fireworks and aerial fireworks will be let off.
