Hours before the highly anticipated display, the 10,200-seat grandstand, along with bridges and streets lining the Han River, was packed with locals and tourists eager to witness the contest.
Opening the night, the Japanese team captivated audiences with its signature Nishiki Kamuro fireworks, whose cascading golden trails draped the night sky like shimmering silk. The combined musical performance proved to be another standout feature, repeatedly drawing cheers and excitement from the crowd.
Italy’s Martarello Group SLR, the two-time defending DIFF champion, unveiled “Echoes Becoming Future”, a performance that combined cinematic storytelling with intricately layered fireworks. Through the display, the team took spectators on a journey linking Europe’s classical cultural heritage with the dynamism of contemporary life.
The festival’s fourth competition night is scheduled for next Saturday, when Germany and Macao (China) will face off under the theme “Creativity”.
