Last year, in an unprecedented error, the organisers of the light show inadvertently displayed the words ‘Happy New Year 2018 ‘ in error, but to be fair, this was not under the control of Foti Fireworks. Eight generations of Foti have passed on their vast knowledge, love and passion for pyrotechnics and one of their mantras' is ‘no pyro, no party’ which we have to say, we totally agree with. The Foti family is one of the original Italian Firework families who have been in the business of manufacturing and displaying fireworks since 1793 and professionalism and safety are at the core of everything they do. The spectacular firework display, choreographed to music, costs in the region of $6 million Australian dollars and is the responsibility of the Foti Fireworks.
More than 1 million spectators packed the foreshore of Sydney Harbour for this epic event of all ages.
