The Malta International Fireworks Festival presents a craft deeply connected to the village feasts of the islands. Its displays combine pyrotechnic composition, music, technical precision and the participation of many Maltese and international fireworks factories.
From community craft to international competition
Malta’s fireworks tradition is sustained by societies and workshops rooted in local communities. The festival presents this heritage through large-scale displays, music-synchronised creations and a pyro-musical competition.
The 25th edition
The anniversary edition took place on 18, 20, 25 and 30 April 2026. It opened in Nadur, Gozo, and continued across several sites including Valletta. Around forty factories and affiliated societies were announced, including eight pyro-musical competitors.
