Herrenhausen Gardens, Herrenhäuser Straße 4, 30419 Hannover

Leading international pyrotechnicians are set to go head to head once more at the 30th edition of the International Firework Competition, presenting awe-inspiring firework displays over the romantic and baroque setting of the royal Herrenhausen Gardens in Hannover.

One of the most prestigious competitions of its kind in the world, the International Firework Competition sees five of the world’s top pyrotechnicians from around the world light up the sky as they compete to be crowned the winner.

Magic fireworks over the Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen

On five different summer evenings, between May and September, five international teams showcase their talents, creating beautiful firework displays: one to a piece of music and the other as an individual free display. 

Altogether, some 55.000 visitors are expected to attend the 30th International Firework Competition. Each of the teams delivers their own fantastic flight of fancy, lighting up the skies with flames in time to preselected musical tracks. 

Prior to each show, attendees also enjoy a programme of live music, performance art and delicious culinary delicacies from the competing country.

In 2020 competition dates and teams are:

  • August 22 - Europa
  • September 5 - Africa
  • September 19 - America
  • October 10 - Australia
  • October  24 - Asia

Team Europa lights up the sky 

On August 22, Team Europa will be dazzling visitors with their spectacular show. Guests will be met at the entrance with colourful folklore and Eastern European spirit. After a variety of spectacular performances by bands, singers and musicians, visitors can then look forward to the pyrotechnical creations show that begins at 10 pm. The motto of team Europa is to kindle fascination for fireworks all over the world, and they aim to make that come true on this night.

Every firework show they create pays attention to the tiniest details to express emotions, and their display over the night sky at Herrenhausen Gardens will be no different.
