Top team from Italy at the 25th International Fireworks Competition

The world-famous competition celebrates its 25th anniversary with top teams from Italy, Spain, Finland, the Philippines and Sweden. Between May and September 2015, the pyrotechnic experts will demonstrate their skills and create amazing sights and sounds against the beautiful backdrop of Herrenhausen Gardens. Between May and September, respected fireworks artists from all over the world will captivate audiences with displays of spectacular pyrotechnic effects,
orchestrated in perfect time to the music. Although there are still six months to go until the competition begins, tickets will go on sale on 17 November, in good time for Christmas presents. In addition to the four-time winners of the International Fireworks Competition from Sweden, HVG has selected top teams from Italy, Spain, Finland and the Philippines to compete this year.

This is the first time that these four teams will take part in the world-famous competition. As a rule, the first display of the season is performed by the previous year’s winner, but there has been a change of plan for the anniversary year. “The first four displays will be presented by first-class teams that have never appeared here before.

The highly popular team from Sweden will be reserved until last. Visitors can look forward to a thrilling anniversary year with fascinating fireworks displays,” promises Hans Christian Nolte, Managing Director of Hannover Veranstaltungs GmbH (HVG) which organises the event. In 2014, a total of more than 51,000 visitors attended the five rounds of the Fireworks Competition in Herrenhausen.
