q festividades anuais, a Madeira
posiciona-se em lugar de
destaque enquanto destino com
eventos durante todo o ano.

de sábado, realiza-se um festival
deslumbrante que enche o Funchal de
cores, efeitos e música interligada,
com o Festival do Atlântico.
Além da beleza de que se
reveste, este evento assume-se
como um concurso, onde cada noite
pirotécnica é da responsabilidade
de um país diferente. A performance
é avaliada por um júri de diversas
áreas, responsável por decidir o
mais destacado como vencedor, de
acordo com a harmonia entre o efeito
pirotécnico e a música selecionada.

pela Secretaria Regional de Turismo e
Cultura, em 2002, surgiu no sentido de
enriquecer o calendário de animação
