Malaysia First to Perform in 27th Macau International Fireworks Display Contest

The 27th Macau International Fireworks Display Contest got underway with a bang on Saturday (5 September) night, with the first dazzling fireworks presented by Malaysia.

Unfortunately, the second fireworks display by Grupo Luso Pirotecnia from Portugal had to be cancelled due to a transport problem delaying the delivery of the needed pyrotechnic materials.

The 27th Macau International Fireworks Display Contest is held in front of Macau Tower on 5, 12, 19, 27 September and 1 October.

French and Austrian teams will come on stage on 27 September, a day to celebrate both the Mid-Autumn Festival and the World Tourism Day.

Teams from Australia and Mainland China will boost the festive vibe in town with their fireworks finale on 1 October, National Day.

The teams have been asked to orchestrate their pyrotechnic shows with music and laser effects in a way that brings out their theme and enhances the audience experience with a pyrotechnic extravaganza.

Spectators can watch the live broadcast of the contest with background music on TDM – Macau Chinese TV Channel and TDM - Radio Macau’s Chinese Channel (FM 100.7).
