Seven years later, its popularity has not declined. Abandoned since the transition from 2017 to 2018 for economic reasons, the New Year's Eve fireworks were back in Bourges, to embrace this new year 2025. A great success, given the number of people gathered at Place Séraucourt during of the traditional countdown.
We come there because we are “fans of fireworks”, like Eliane, who came on purpose from Vouzeron… “Partly for this reason”, she will say in front of her Berruyer son. We come there because we live right next door, and “instead of being bored”, the choice is quickly made for this group of Berruyère.
“To end the year on a note like that is cool”
We come there to immortalize the moment, because the world attracts the world, and because there is something quite satisfying about being together, all together. See how the champagne bottle corks will pop, if we are the only ones to have opted for the “Happy New Year 2025” glasses, the golden hats. A different way of fighting austerity than saving this festive expense. “Usually, I always have a party, but this year, I was alone, expresses Marina. So, I came here, I found some acquaintances. Ending the year on a note like that is cool”.
In a fog that could seem hostile to the exercise, eighteen minutes of colorful explosions punctuated the first moments of January 2025. In the purest pyrotechnic tradition, with a musical choice focused on European classics: Queen , Dancing queen from ABBA or the German tube 99 balloons. Just to remind you that in three years, the festival will have a strong European accent with the capital of culture in Bourges, in 2028. And if the crowd remained relatively calm, given the heterogeneity of the public, everyone had their own program afterwards. the show. Rest, disco, prolonged festivities. Great ways to start the year.
