The fireworks industry used to be one of the three staple industries of the territory, influenced by Portugal’s long history of pyrotechnics. To celebrate this ‘colourful’ history and cultural inheritance, Macau staged the inaugural annual ‘Macau International Fireworks Display Contest’ in the 1980’s to demonstrate the uniqueness of the territory.

The inaugural Macau International Fireworks Display Contest of 1989 featured just five participating teams but by 1995 the event had developed into a ten-team event, with two different teams demonstrating their expertise each night, a successful format that continues to this day. The Macau International Fireworks Display Contest has grown over the years into an internationally acclaimed event, and is acknowledged as one of the best of its kind. Over the years, more than 100 international teams from China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Australia, Taiwan – China, the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Portugal and Spain have participated in this pyrotechnic wizardry.
