Gisborne Firework Shows
For New Year, our Dunedin-based tech Chris goes home to Gisborne to fire two incredible shows for Firework Professionals. On New Year’s Eve, the team are busy at Rhythm and Vines, and then they’re out early again to rig and fire a choreographed musical firework display on New Year’s Day evening. Fire in the Sky has been running since 2002, sponsored by Walter Findlay Ltd for the Gisborne District Council. Fired at the confluence of the Taruheru and Waimata rivers, the display is seen from all three bridges and is always a night to remember. Here’s a link to a past show. We’re already getting design ideas together for the 20th-anniversary display in 2022!
Matariki Fireworks
Over twenty years ago, Te Rangi Huata and his team from Ngāti Kahungunu were trained by Firework Professionals’ founder Anthony Lealand to produce fireworks shows for Matariki throughout the east coast area. We’re proud still be working with them all these years later. Matariki has become an important winter festival all around Aotearoa, with fireworks and light shows to celebrate the arrival of the Pleiades star cluster to southern skies.
