XI Malta Mechanised Ground Fireworks Festival

​16 Fireworks Factories Competing in the 11th Mechanised Ground Fireworks Festival

The Floriana Local Council is proud to announce that it will organize the eleventh edition of the Malta Mechanised Ground Fireworks Festival. The Festival will be held on the Granaries (St Publius Square) - the largest square in Malta, on Saturday 29th April, 2017 on the eve of the Feast of St Publius, Floriana’s and Malta's Patron Saint. Undoubtedly, the key factor which keeps us organising the festival each year is the resounding success of the past ten editions. The festival will once again be competitive. A record of 16 Fireworks Factories / Associations will be competing for the title, each exhibiting two Catherine wheels. Given the large expanse of open space the Granaries afford, the Catherine wheels in competition are always very large. Ground fireworks are a unique Maltese pyrotechnic tradition, and an extremely important part of the outdoor festa celebrations in Malta & Gozo. Each fireworks factory does its very best to improve on previous structures and invent new mechanisms. Naturally, competition and pique between the various factories ensures high standards for each firework.
