Description :

This free event attracts thousands from the area to view some of the most beautiful, original and noisy fireworks around. The competition has been held since 1966 and brings pyrotechnic specialists from countries around the world to show off their talent. Fireworks begin around 9:30 PM or when it's dark. Good viewing from several locations: along the port sitting at a cafe, from the palace area or along the ramparts of Fort Antoine, and just off the Casino Terrace. Competition continues through the month of August and the winner returns November 18th to create the fireworks display on the evening before the National Fete Day.
