31 different fireworks factories in 21 localities around Malta and Gozo, will be working in unison to present a national pyrotechnic show on the 1st of July, focusing on themes that include Maltese traditions, heritage, culture and victory, and taking place in celebration of the reopening of Malta’s borders – VisitMalta Now.

Organised by the Ministry for Tourism and Consumer Protection and the Malta Tourism Authority, they said that, the Maltese Islands will be divided into six districts, each showcasing the talent and artistry of the local manufacturers of traditional fireworks known to be “among the best in the world,” while all local feast clubs will be decorating their clubs and flagpoles.

Minister for Tourism and Consumer Protection Julia Farrugia Portelli expressed her satisfaction that our islands are on the verge of welcoming tourists once more.

She said that, “many were sceptical that we could arrive at this stage this quickly, but we managed, thanks to the efforts of countless people. We started delivering on that promise and our commitment towards this goal takes on a new dimension on the 1st of July,” said Minister Farrugia Portelli.

VisitMalta Now will be held on the 1st of July 2020 at 8.30pm. No details have been given as yet for the displays in Gozo.
