Fireworks
CARDILE Fireworks plans to deliver the same display at the Esperance and Districts Agricultural Show as seen at the Perth Royal Show, voted the best agricultural show fireworks display in Australia.
Owner Rob Cardile promised WA’s leading licensed fireworks company would deliver a “bigger and better” display in Friday October 18 than Esperance patrons have previously seen.
“We are constantly looking at better ways and the most up to date methods of doing the displays,” he said.
“The fireworks we are bringing to Esperance are the same we use at Perth Royal Show it will be a spectacular production.”
Patrons can expect the array of close proximity, mid-level and aerial fireworks in the 14-minute pyrotechnic display sponsored by Southern Ports as they’ve enjoyed in previous years.
Cardile Fireworks staged WA’s largest fireworks display at the 2024 City of Perth Skyworks Display on Perth’s Swan River earlier this year.
