Liuyang Fireworks Festival (9th) Opening Ceremony, May 22, 2009

The opening ceremony of the 9th China Liuyang International Fireworks Festival was held May 22, 2009. The opening ceremony kicks off the three day fireworks event. The schedule includes the opening show on the 22nd, followed by the Pyro-Musical competition on the 23nd, and ending with new product demonstrations on the 24th.

The opening ceremony is a lavish event that features a full line-up of famous Chinese and HK pop stars performing live on stage. The tickets sell for up to 1680 rmb ($250 USD), but still the event sells out to a huge crowd of mostly mainland Chinese who are either just lovers of fireworks and pop, or are in the fireworks business in some part of China.

This year, with warnings of US visitors possibly being quarantined for one week, the foreign visitors mostly chose to stay at home. The May date also makes it difficult for US operators to attend as their busy season is just getting started.

Dominator Fireworks has uploaded videos of the fireworks portions of the opening ceremony. All effects seen in the video are avaliable for purchase from Dominator Fireworks.

As always, the show was big and spectacular. Please enjoy the show!
