An amazing fantastic sight can be seen in the summer in the sky above the city of Moscow.
Since August 2013, in the capital of Russia, an international fireworks festival entitled "The Best City of the Earth" has been held annually. The place for the launch of volleys for the entire period of the festival is changing. From July to August, this happens in every district of the city.
Festival participants
The participants are the best Russian teams, representatives of the CIS countries, as well as pyrotechnics from abroad. According to the results of the festival, 3 best teams delight with the enchanting spectacle of the townspeople and guests of Moscow on September 7 (city day). Here we will briefly talk about this colorful event, about how it is held and where.
Fireworks Festival: Description
This is a surprisingly vibrant pyrotechnic show, accompanied by great live music. The night sky over Moscow is indescribably beautifully painted with a wide variety of color paintings created by fiery sparks and sparkling arrows.
This action lasts for several minutes, presenting to the audience fiery drawings, alternating one after another. In general, it is impossible to take your eyes off this action. One word is magic!
Briefly about world festivals and fireworks contests
The Fireworks Festival in Moscow is a relatively new event in Russia. In many countries, such holidays have been held for a long time. Let's consider some of them.
The Fire River pyrotechnic show in the Australian city of Brisbane annually opens the arts festival in September.
Various exhibitions are held here, new films are shown, and famous musicians perform with concerts.
The name of the fireworks is symbolic, because volleys come from boats located on the Brisbane River, and from city bridges. Flashes of fireworks reflected in the water add to the atmosphere an even greater sense of enthusiasm for the splendor of the holiday.
The fireworks festival in Vietnamese Danang, located on the Han River, is also an annual event. It takes place in March-April. The bridge located on the river is the main attraction of this city. It is not only an incredibly beautiful building, but also a venue for the fireworks festival.
Another colorful firework contest, held in Zagreb (the capital of Croatia) at the end of June, brings together representatives from various countries.
A grandiose performance can be seen from the banks of the Sava River and Lake Bundek. After the competition, this holiday continues: songs and dances performed by folk groups, concerts of singers and various musical groups.
GlobalFest in Calgary is a massive event. It includes a forum on human rights, an international exhibition, a variety of concerts and a mandatory festival of fireworks. This show also takes place on the water - Lake Allison. A fantastic spectacle is necessarily accompanied by music using national motifs.
All festivals held around the world cannot be described. Magnificent laser and light shows in the Maltese capital (Valletta), the international competition of salutes in Catalonia (Tarragona) and many other amazing shows around the world fascinate people with a vivid spectacle.
Fireworks Festival in Moscow (2015)
A bright and unforgettable show was held on August 21-22 on the Sparrow Hills in Moscow. This magnificent competition ended with the victory of the Russian team. The most titled representatives of eight countries fought for this title: Belarus, Spain, Finland, Italy, Czech Republic, China, Chile and Russia.
The Russian team has already twice won at the Cannes fireworks festivals. Victory this time was predictable. Indeed, colorful fireworks at the opening and closing of the Sochi Olympic Games are also a matter of diligence of Russian pyrotechnics (Rostec company). The shows that this team presents are one of the most colorful and spectacular in the history of all world salutes. On Victory Day, this famous team also saluted with bright colorful lights.
The uniqueness of the Moscow festival is that volleys conducted at the highest altitude enable people to view it from almost anywhere in Moscow.
Each team had at its disposal only 8 minutes, and the preparation for this event took months and even years of painstaking work.
Representatives of each team presented their unique variety of fantastic fireworks with a kind of art, professionalism, their own style and temperament.
As a result, the Chilean team rightfully deserved the second place, and the third - the Chinese one.
