Every Saturday evening this September, the skies over Manila Bay will light up with a dazzling display of pyrotechnics, offering both locals and tourists a magical experience. The Grand Fireworks Spectacle, a tradition eagerly awaited by many, is set to be held at SM By The Bay, promising to turn your regular weekend into an extraordinary visual feast.
The shows are scheduled for Sep 7, 14, 21, and 28, with an additional performance on Sunday, 29 Sep 2024, for those who might miss the Saturday night events. Each display will begin at 7pm, giving you plenty of time to find the perfect spot to enjoy the show. Whether you choose to watch from Central Park, SM by the Bay, or secure a table at one of the nearby restaurants with a view, you're in for a treat. The wide open spaces and unimpeded views of Manila Bay make SM MOA one of the best spots in Metro Manila to watch fireworks.
This free event is perfect for families, friends, and even solo travellers looking to soak up some local culture while enjoying a world-class fireworks display. The Grand Fireworks Spectacle isn’t just about the explosions of colour in the sky; it’s a full sensory experience with music that adds to the drama and excitement of each burst of light.
For those planning to attend, getting there early is recommended to secure the best viewing spots. The Central Park area and the surrounding SM by the Bay restaurants are expected to fill up quickly as the showtime approaches. And for those who prefer a more relaxed experience, tailgating at the nearby parking lots is a great option.
So whether you’re already in the holiday spirit or just looking to add some sparkle to your September weekends, make your way to the MOA Grand Fireworks Spectacle. This event is not just a visual delight but also an opportunity to create lasting memories with loved ones, against the stunning backdrop of Manila Bay. Don’t miss out on one of the best free entertainment events in the Metro this month!
