The event kicked off at 7:10 PM with the first act, a stunning international fireworks show.

The second act, presented by Hanwha, one of Korea’s leading fireworks producers, was the “Busan Multi-Fireworks Show.” Running for 35 minutes under the theme “Attraction, Excitement, Resonance,” it featured synchronized pyrotechnics set to music, creating a visual and auditory feast for the audience. https://n.news.naver.com/article/001/0015035572?ntype=RANKING New Highlights: Wave and Parachute Fireworks This year introduced two new crowd-pleasers: the "Wave Fireworks," which mirrored rippling water patterns along the iconic Gwangandaegyo Bridge, and “Text Fireworks,” designed to spell out messages symbolizing Busan’s global aspirations. Another first was the parachute fireworks, which gently descended from the sky, adding a magical touch to the display. The grand finale was a jaw-dropping 400-meter-wide fireworks explosion that drew gasps and cheers from the crowd. Smartphones were raised high as attendees scrambled to capture the momentous scenes, creating a sea of glowing screens that mirrored the brilliance of the night sky. https://n.news.naver.com/article/001/0015035572?ntype=RANKING A Festival on Land and Sea The festivities weren’t confined to the beaches.

A total of 6,700 personnel, including police officers, firefighters, and government workers, were deployed to manage the event. Real-time monitoring through CCTV cameras allowed officials to track crowd density and implement measures like access restrictions to prevent overcrowding. The beachfront and nearby streets operated under a strict 200,000-person capacity limit, with entry temporarily closed once the limit was reached. Other safety measures included the use of LED congestion control vehicles, which were increased from six to eight this year, and the deployment of "stilt-walking police officers," who offered an elevated vantage point to monitor crowds more effectively. Public Transport Enhancements To facilitate the massive influx of visitors, the Busan Transportation Corporation significantly boosted subway services. Trains on all four subway lines ran an additional 240 times, and the last train departures were extended by 25 minutes, ensuring smooth travel for attendees returning home late at night. https://imnews.imbc.com/news/2024/society/article/6654555_36438.html A Night to Remember The Busan Fireworks Festival continues to cement its reputation as a world-class event, combining cutting-edge pyrotechnics with meticulous planning to provide an unforgettable experience for attendees.
