Flames Across the Meadows

An annual fireworks display organized by Għaqda Tan-Nar Kerċem on the eve of the Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help (Madonna tas-Sokkors). It features a thematic pyrotechnic show (2025’s theme: Beijing’s Summer Palace) in Kerċem each July 1. Attracting local and visiting audiences, the event combines Gozo’s fireworks artistry with a different cultural motif each year, making it a major highlight of Gozo’s summer feasts.

Rooted in the village’s festa traditions (held on the night before the Madonna tas-Sokkors feast), Flames Across the Meadows extends Gozo’s fireworks heritage into a themed spectacle. It highlights community collaboration (Għaqda Tan-Nar and local councils) and supplements the religious celebration with secular entertainment.
