WORLD FIREWORKS CHAMPIONSHIP

The World Fireworks Championships are returning to the UK’s Number One Resort Blackpool.

The four countries to be represented in the World Fireworks Championships in Blackpool this September are Portugal, Canada, United Kingdom and Austria.

Top international firework experts will represent their homeland by staging stunning pyrotechnical displays in the skies above Blackpool’s Central Beach during September which will showcase the artistry of their pyrotechnical team, and the innovation of their fireworks designers.

The opening event is on Sunday 2 September, with further displays every Friday in September. Each heat of the competition is free to view, and the fireworks will be launched from North Pier, ensuring plenty of space to view each spectacle from Blackpool’s Central Promenade.

Jubilee Fireworks will fly the Union Jack flag for the UK on Friday 14 September, as they attempt to outshine their opponents in a glittering display.

British Pyrotechnical experts from Kimbolton Fireworks, who have created displays for many prestigious events including the celebration of the hand over of Hong Kong to China, will mark the close of the competition with a celebratory performance on Friday 28 September, during which the winner will be announced.
