Madeira Atlantic Festival Fireworks & Music Show

Atlantic Festival adds live entertainment to the itinerary and works well alongside daytime sightseeing.

Atlantic Festival: experience overview

The Madeira Atlantic Festival celebrates the beginning of summer with four Saturdays of fireworks and music displays. You’ll be transferred over to Funchal to enjoy an evening watching the colourful shows of lights and sound over the pier outside Pontinha. The festival will take place every Saturday in June and promises a feast for the senses. You’ll have transport taken care of, so you can relax and watch a line-up of explosive performances that artfully combine the drama of fireworks with the rhythm of music for a duration of approximately 20 minutes each. Participants putting on the shows are all competing for a trophy that’s awarded through a public vote, so be sure to note down your favourite. Once it’s a wrap, your transfer back to Caniço, Santa Cruz and Machico will be waiting for you.

This makes the experience a useful option when planning time in Madeira. The listing describes this as a 20 minutes experience. Routes, start times, inclusions and meeting arrangements may vary, so the current booking page should be treated as the final source of operational information.
