According to Marco Costa, CEO of ‘Henrique Costa & Filhos (Pyrotechnic Company), everything is ready for the year-end firework display in Madeira, although the 59 firework locations’ (57 in Funchal and 2 in Porto Santo) will only be installed tomorrow.
According to Marco Costa, work started on the 6th of December, and this year’s assembly process was “relatively easy,” as the company has considerable 3xperience of working on projects such as this. However, he added that this is not just a project, this is one of the best shows in the world.
On the 31st of December the countdown will start at 23.55, and during this time, and as each minute passes the display build up will become more intense as the count down to midnight approaches.
The Regional Government has spent around one million euros on this years firework display that many may be able to watch from our homes!
