Between 7 and 16 June, the Feast in honour of Our Lady of Lilies will be celebrated in Mqabba. Ground and aerial fireworks display will be held on each day of the feast. The main fireworks event is to be held on Saturday 14 June, eve of the Feast starting at 9.45pm.

Danza del Fuego (Fire Dance), is the theme chosen for this unique spectacular Pyromusical, featuring a varied number of ground effects synchronised to music. The said effects have been carefully blended together with aerial spider web shells, spherical ball shells in all sizes and traditional cylindrical Maltese shells. In addition to these there will be a variety of design shells. A traditional aerial display will follow including a wide range of timed reports and colour multi-break shells for which Lily Fireworks is very well renowned.

This display is prepared by Lily Fireworks Merlin Fire (Malta), acquiring great success in 2007 by the innovative Pyromusical Display entitled “Waltzing Fires”, synchronised to the Waltz “Blue Danube” by Johan Strauss.

The aerial part of the display will be over by a grand-finale round about 11.30pm, followed by a fine ground fireworks display, including a large number of original mechanised set-pieces known as Maltese irdieden set in motion by a wide selection of coloured drivers and lances. Last April, this work was recognised nationally during the National Festival of Mechanised Ground Fireworks, with Lily Fireworks emerging as the Overall Winner among sixteen other main Maltese Factories.
