Pyromusical from Finland
Finland has been considered one of Europe's strong pyrotechnics nations for years. The country has its own tradition in the field of pyromusicals and works with a high standard of musical dramaturgy. The participating teams combine traditional pyro images with modern electronic control and often focus on particularly clear, cool color concepts.
The Composition
Each participating team composes its program itself and chooses its own music track, to which the fireworks are precisely coordinated. The choreography lasts around 25 minutes and uses the entire available pyrotechnics inventory. The motto Dance of Northern Lights connects the five Northern Lights nations of the 2026 season – Norway, Finland, Scotland, and Sweden – through a common thematic link.
The August Evening
Mid-August offers a particularly favorable constellation: the summer days are still warm, but the sun sets around 9 p.m., so the main fireworks can be ignited around 10:30 p.m. in complete darkness. The supporting program begins in the late afternoon and uses the long summer evenings for a multi-hour stay in the park.
Judging
An international expert jury and an audience vote evaluate the performance. The scores are incorporated into the overall season standings. The winner of the competition will be crowned on the final evening in mid-September.
Fireworks Competition Hannover – Finland — edition 2026
Team Finland complements the Nordic quartet of the 2026 season. Based on experience, Finnish pyro teams impress with precise timing, clear visual ideas, and an independent approach to electronic music. The composition is created by the team itself and remains a surprise until the evening itself.
The stay in the Great Garden is designed to prepare for the main fireworks: a stroll through the baroque park in daylight, a show program in the evening, sunset over the hedgerows, activation of the nocturnal park lighting, and finally the approximately 25-minute pyromusical show.
