The four internationally-leading pyrotechnic companies will set the night sky ablaze in Macao for two consecutive nights, creating splendid experience of “tourism + events” for residents and visitors alike. Two fireworks displays will take place at 9 p.m. and 9:40 p.m. each evening. Each show will span about 18 minutes.
