Fireworks production in Malta is an all year round occupation for enthusiasts which will fascinates thousands of people both Maltese as well as foreign.
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: During the 19 and 20ᵉ centuries, the art of pyrotechnics became professionalized in Malta to celebrate the events of the English crown, as the island was a British colony at the time. Today, the Maltese tradition continues: every major national event, every holiday ends with fireworks in Malta!
Fireworks in Malta have a long tradition which is centuries old. Indeed the craft of pyrotechnics in Malta goes back to the time of the Order of the Knights of St John. The Order which was conventual, aristocratic and military used to celebrate the most important feasts by special pyrotechnic displays. Such firework displays were an expression of rejoicing on special occasions, such as the election of a Grand Master or a Pope, as well as on the birth of a prince. Pyrotechnics must have been inspired by cannon shots and musket fire. The feu de joie which was a salute by the musketeers produced a celebratory welcome to any dignitary. From this developed the musketterija which today is a series of hundreds of explosions of crackers firing in rapid succession. These are attached to a string placed on the roof top of a church or other large building.
