The eighth edition of the Malta International Fireworks Festival starts this evening.

The timesofmalta.com webcam, which can be accessed from the left hand side of the page - http://www.timesofmalta.com/webcam , has been set to show the display.

The festival, held at Grand Harbour, is organised by the Secretariat for Tourism and the Malta Tourism Authority as part of events marking the fifth anniversary of Malta's EU membership.

Twelve local fireworks factories and three foreign companies are taking part.

It will kick off on 9.30 p.m. with a 15-minute fireworks display, designed by a foreign pyrotechnic company. This will be followed by a set of fireworks displays from local factories in a ‘one by one’ competitive series of displays.

It continues tomorrow.
