The Cannes Fireworks Festival 2012 begins on Saturday July 14 and
continues through Friday August 24th. This year, five countries will take part
in the competition and once again work to outdo each other with dramatic music and extravagant displays. The fireworks are released from
barges in Cannes Bay, opposite the Croisette. As usual, tens of thousands of
people will gather to ooh and ahh on all the city's beaches, on the promenade
and on hundreds of boats moored offshore. The shows begin at 10 pm and last 30
minutes. This year, the following countries will participate:
Saturday July 14th– Italy
Saturday July 21st – China
Sunday July 29th – Spain
Tuesday August 7th– France
Wednesday August 15th – Germany
Friday August 24th – Argentina (not in
competition)...and an announcement of the winning country.

Julie, I cannot imagine a more exquisite setting for fireworks... then to see them reflected in Cannes Bay, wow! I would have to find a place back from the beach for viewing. This is an event which can be enjoyed by many!

I've been there for this 2 times, and I must say it is one of the most spectacular events I've ever attended. Dining on the sand, watching the fireworks, sipping a great wine...nothing better !!!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing!
ReplyDeleteWe went to Cannes to see this spectacle.
ReplyDeleteThere was no fireworks at all !
The fireworks were cancelled last night (July 14) due to high winds. I'm told they've been rescheduled for Monday 16th July at 10pm.
