5th Edition Of Flames Across The Meadows A Success
Jul 11 2023 Share

The fifth edition of the ‘Flames Across the Meadows’ proved to be yet another spectacular success as fireworks lit up Kerċem, Gozo over the past weekend. 

The event was organised by the ‘Għaqda tan-Nar Kerċem’, and saw the night sky over Gozo being lit up with the pyrotechnical skills the islands are known to celebrate with, especially over the summer period.

The fireworks were accompanied by the construction of a bridge to which the fireworks served as backdrop, as a ship moved through a raising bridge with music to accompany it.

If this isn’t a testament to the Maltese’s ability to celebrate in style, whilst keeping a core traditional aspect of the island alive, we don’t know what is!
