Fireworks for ceremonies and national days

National days, openings, inaugurations and season launches: Pyred designs and fires fireworks and special effects for public celebrations in Belgium, Luxembourg, France and the Middle East.

A public celebration has one audience: everyone.

What makes a ceremony different

Ceremonies take place in city centres, on squares, in harbours and in stadiums, often with dignitaries present and a large, free audience. That means close cooperation with the city, the police and the fire service, and a show that runs exactly to the protocol.

By day we work with coloured smoke and daytime effects; at night with fireworks, flames and lasers.
