History of the Show

Les Grands Feux du Casino Lac-Leamy was first presented in 1996 and has since featured some of the best fireworks designers from around the world. In 2012, Royal Pyrotechenie became the official supplier of pyro-musical services for the show, which was then held at The Lac-Leamy. In 2014, the show moved downtown to the Canadian Museum of History. The grand finale of the show is undoubtedly the most massive event that attracts crowds with their eyes glued to the sparkling sky. For over 25 years, the show has been one of the premier events in the world's pyrotechnics industry.
