when the clock strikes midnight fireworks light up the sky during a 20 minute display that has become world famous for its extravagance and spectacular beauty. the fireworks are set off from special rafts out at sea, roughly 300 meters from the coastline.

before they are released there is a countdown, which raises the atmosphere brilliantly. the party can be viewed from both the land and sea, and many people enjoy the events unraveling from the slightly more luxurious setting of their own sailing boat and yachts.
