Knokke-Heist continues tradition and closes the summer again in 2022 with the International Fireworks Festival
The sun and spring are in the country and that inevitably makes us dream of a wonderful summer in Knokke-Heist. The summer program of events is taking shape and of course the International Fireworks Festival cannot be missed. It has been the end of a fantastic summer holiday in Knokke-Heist for more than 50 years. And that will not change in 2022. On 19, 21, 23, 25 and 27 August at 10 pm, the sky in Knokke-Heist will change into a colorful light spectacle. The base will once again be the beach at the Meerlaan.
Success Formula
The International Fireworks Festival has been a success formula for years to extend the summer season. Many visitors link Knokke-Heist for a weekend or even a whole week. The seaside resort offers so much more than just top events. Just think of the 10 km long sandy beach with no fewer than 20 different beach bars. Or the golden shopping triangle with countless flagship stores and smaller, sympathetic boutiques. Anyone who loves culinary delights has also come to the right place. Finally, you will find art with a capital K in Knokke-Heist. If you would like to spend the night in Knokke-Heist during this period, it is best to book your stay now via visitkh.be.
International competition
According to tradition, 4 different countries give the best of themselves during the first four fireworks evenings. The unique combination of a choreography of fireworks that runs synchronously to the chosen music is a unique feature. These fireworks shows are all gems of the highest level. Which countries will participate this year remains a secret for a while. The closing fireworks of the city council of Knokke-Heist on August 27 are custom made by HC Pyrotechnics from Belgium. The winner will also be announced that evening.
Total experience
For several years now, the flares have been set off from the beach near the Meerlaan. This ensures a total experience over the entire seawall, from De Wandelaar to Rubensplein. Sound boxes will be provided between those two points, which will be fully synchronized with the fireworks spectacle. In this way the people can easily spread out over the entire length of the seawall, which ensures that anyone who wishes can avoid the crowds.
