The fireworks engineers and creators really showed off their skills as they even managed to capture various shapes related to the rock theme chosen for this edition. 

The local parish was celebrating the 90th anniversary from the arrival of the titular statue. The members of the ‘Sezzjoni Żgħażagħ Pawlini Munxarin, along with the ‘Sotto Kumitat tan-Nar’, made sure to deliver a fireworks spectacle like no other. 

The system used to create the fireworks, Ten2 Firing System, was completely designed by the youth themselves.
