A more beautiful setting for this spectacular event is hardly possible

This competition is a real "High Light":
The world's top pyrotechnicians battle it out for the 20th time. The combination of music, action and fireworks is a highly moving experience. The "Oohs" and "Aahs" follow spontaneously one after the other as the fireworks light up the night sky.

And no need to be sad when the 25-minute performance finishes, just make a date for the next pyrotechnic extravaganza!

The accompanying programme of variety acts and live music attracts spectators into the Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen long before the start of the firework competition itself.

Could there be a more beautiful setting for this breathtaking spectacle?
