On 14th August, the skies over Mqabba will ignite in colour and sound as the village hosts its Grand Fireworks Spectacle on the eve of the Feast of Santa Marija.

At the heart of the show will be the world-renowned Tower of Light, reaching a record-breaking 62 metres this year and delivering an extraordinary 10,000 shots in perfect harmony with music.

The Tower of Light will serve as the centrepiece of a pyromusical display blending tradition and innovation. Visitors can expect dazzling firework fountains, spherical and multi-break colour shells, artistic shapes, and innovative effects; all choreographed to six musical tracks spanning classical, film scores, and rock.

The spectacle will unfold in four main segments including a synchronised fireworks display set to music, brimming with rhythm and emotion and a traditional Maltese aerial fireworks (murtali) featuring beraq and intricate shells, a celebration of Malta’s unique pyrotechnic heritage. It will also include a second synchronised segment culminating in a powerful Grand Finale and a mechanised ground firework, a rare Maltese art form unlike anything seen elsewhere.

To fully embrace the festa spirit, visitors are encouraged to arrive early. The village centre will be alive with vibrant street decorations, illuminated banners, and the beautifully adorned parish church dedicated to the Assumption of Our Lady.

Mqabba is accessible via the Airport (Kirkop Tunnels) or alternative routes through Triq Ħal Farruġ and Siġġiewi.

Prepare for an unforgettable night where tradition, creativity, and passion light up the Maltese sky!
