For the past few years, Valletta has been hosting the fireworks festival once a year. Are the authorities and organisers taking into consideration whether such fireworks can damage the fortifications and historical buildings in the area?
Furthermore, this festival has limited access to the general public.
Why not move the fireworks festival to the safer St Paul’s Bay harbour? The public would also be able to watch the event from various areas, from residences to hotels to the entire Coast Road.
Thanks to the great St Paul’s Bay festa team a few days ago we experienced something similar, albeit on a smaller scale.
