Macao hold the 28th edition of Macao International Fireworks Display Contest on Saturday night, with teams from Thailand and Portugal showing their dazzling fireworks to local people and tourists.
The contest is scheduled to be held above the sea in front of Macau Tower on Sept.3, 10, 15, 24 and Oct. 1. The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Sept. 15 in 2016, and China's National Day falls on Oct. 1, both of which are important days to celebrate in Macao.
This year's contest has drawn many world-class firework companies from Thailand, Portugal, Britain, Switzerland, China, Japan, South Korea, Italy, Canada and Romania.
In the contest, the fireworks displays are designed to bring out a special theme, including "Pyro Fantasia", "Tribute to Bond", "Mid-Autumn Harmony," "Stars from afar" and "Celebration in the Sky."
Firework industry was one of the backbones of Macao's economy in the early 20th century. The first Macao International Fireworks Display Contest was held in 1989 with five contending teams.
