Annecy, in Haute-Savoie, welcomed the public for its traditional annual festive meeting around the lake, Saturday August 6th. 200,000 people attended the fireworks. Between tradition and modernity, the show kept all its promises.
In the pure tradition ofAnnecy (Haute-Savoie), the grand finale of the fireworks display captivated the spectators on the evening of Saturday August 6th. “Sensational”entrust a woman. “We took full eyes, full ears … It was fabulous”, adds a man. After two canceled editions, the Lake Festival had seen things big, with seven tons of fireworks and 7,000 rockets.
Tradition has mingled with novelty: from the darkness have emerged 300 drones, for a very poetic aerial ballet. The story of the lake and the water cycle told by an eagle offered a magical moment to the public. The show, like an ode to nature, also delivered a deliberately ecological message. Lake Annecy, a victim of drought, loses one centimeter of water every day. With its very successful party, Annecy has regained its historic status as the biggest pyrotechnic show in Europe.
