The 2022 International Pyrotechnic Art Festival

The International Pyrotechnic Art Festival is the flagship event of the summer in Cannes. It attracts more than 100,000 spectators for each performance that lasts, on average, 30 minutes. Every summer, it makes its big return and this year it takes place from July 14 to August 24, 2022, in the bay of Cannes for your greatest pleasure. This is a festival that is definitely worth a visit ! We strongly recommend that you go at least once.

This one was created in 1967 thanks to the collaboration between the Ruggieri company and the city of Cannes who decide by common agreement to create something spectacular together : an international fireworks competition.

The aim is to impress the Cannois and the hundreds of thousands of tourists who come to visit Cannes for summer.

The idea is simple : choreograph a firing on a musical soundtrack based on a defined theme. In 2022, the themes are :

  • « Beyond reality », France
  • « Goscinny’s Journey », Poland
  • « Romeo and Juliette », Norway
  • « Ode to Life », Italy
  • « Fragile », Canada
  • « The gardens of Vesta », Switzerland

If you wish to have the breath taken by a show as spectacular as it is original, then the Cannes 2022 fireworks show is where you need to go. Get ready to take it all in !

This pyrotechnic art festival is one of the most prestigious in the world.
