ĐÀ NẴNG — France’s Féerie team took audiences on an adventure around France on a ‘friendship train’ through their fireworks performance on the second night of the 2018 Đà Nẵng International Fireworks Festival on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Atlas PyroVision from the US created a ‘painting of lighting’ in the sky of Đà Nẵng with their 20-minute performance and 6,000 fireworks.

The US team impressed the audience on the Hàn River bank with the ‘film of time’ performance with music from the 1940s and 50s and amazing fireworks.

While Féerie told a story of bridges spanning over the Seine River, the US team depicted the Brooklyn Bridge in a dynamic and modern style.

The two teams lit up the second night, with lively stories told using fireworks and magic light.

Italy and Hong Kong (China) perform on June 2nd, while Sweden and Portugal will light up the night of June 9th.
