New Year's Eve Fireworks Show
Display location:Inner Harbor
City: Baltimore
State:Maryland
Date: Jan. 1
Display company:Pyrotecnico
Details: Derek Valcourt has more on the preparations underway for the Ports of America fireworks celebration at the Inner Harbor.
There's a new company running the fireworks show this year and workers from Pyrotecnico are putting the finishing touches on what they promise will be one of Baltimore's best shows ever.
Same barges, same Inner Harbor, same holiday, but there's a different fireworks company. Pyrotecnico will bring their high-tech take on fireworks to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The award-winning company uses special computers to fire the show and synchronize each barge and the music to GPS satellite clocks.
There are three barges packed with more than 5,000 explosives.
"Within the first 30 seconds of the show, people are going to be like, `OK, we're in for something really good,'" said Rocco Vitale, Pyrotecnico.
Another new aspect to the show is something called the Pyrodome, invented by Pyrotecnico. It will be placed right in the Inner Harbor, and chances are it's like nothing you've ever seen before. It's been described as a giant wall of color with all kinds of special effects.
"I think you'll see things in our fireworks show that you've never seen before in Baltimore, so we're excited," said Tracey Baskerville, Baltimore Promotion and the Arts.
Workers spent all week preparing the barges, but they've been planning the show for months.
No matter where you are in the Inner Harbor, organizers say you are going to have a great view of the fireworks show. But perhaps the best seat is going to be on your own couch because WJZ is going to broadcast the entire show live at Smith's Shipyard in Curtis Bay.
Entertainment starts at the Inner Harbor Amphitheatre at 7 p.m. If the show can't go on because of the weather, it will launch Jan. 1 at 7 p.m.
