Fireworks in Poços de Caldas

Happy New Year 2008 - Fireworks in Poços de Caldas

Every New Year's Eve they put on a fantastic fireworks show in downtown Poços de Caldas, in the park behind the Palace Hotel.

This year was probably the best ever. The spectacular show went on non stop for 30 minutes. There was lots of bangs and smoke as the skyrockets lit up the night sky over Poços de Caldas.

At the same time, and throughout the day, people let off "bombs" all over town.

Here is a collection of photos of some of the fireworks.







The park behind the Palace hotel is lit up beautifully at night.





Thousands of people gather all around the park. This photo was taken an hour before the fireworks began.





They set off the fireworks on the sidewalk between grassy areas in full view of everyone behind the Palace Hotel.





So the show began with a bang at midnight!
























































































It was an amazing spectacle! Happy New Year, Everyone, Everywhere!
