Extravagant Multibreak Shells

Large Multibreak shells 7″ manufactured by our Pyrotechnics Engineers.  These were let off to salute the exit of St. Peter’s Statue in procession on the day of his feast in Birżebbuġa.

Directly from the Firing Fields

This year we made an effort to bring to your screens live events from where our fireworks are let off.  People are usually accustomed to follow fireworks either from the Parish Square or from their rooftops.  They barely know how difficult it could be to let off fireworks during daylight let alone at night.  We think that this should be of great interest to you.

On Sunday 3rd August 2014 at about 7pm the statue of St. Peter Apostle made its way out of the Parish church of Birżebbuġa.  A huge crowd awaits this moment year after year.  It is the most important even of all the feast week.  The statue of Saint Peter is perhaps the most precious thing we have in our town.  It embodies our pride, our identity our devotion to the first vicar of Christ.  The 22nd February Pyrotechnics Society let off a salute consisting of 21 large bombs, a battery and a set of very large multibreak shells.

The following extraordinary footages have been taken from the same fields were all the fireworks were let off.
