Beautiful light and fireworks show, stunning visual naked-eye 3D light and shadow show, grand art parade... At the 38-day 28th Qingdao International Beer Festival, the themes of innovation, fashion and carnival will run through the festival. Many wonderful performances are shocking, turning the West Coast New Area into a dreamy and dazzling beer city. It is reported that the lighting fireworks performance of this Beer Festival is the largest visible light fireworks show in the world.

The world's largest light fireworks show will light up the beer city

This summer, the world's largest light fireworks show will be staged in the Golden Beach Beer City. As a traditional preservation project of the Beer Festival, this year's light show has reinvented the national-style lighthouses along the "Belt and Road" of the Avenue of Stars, and expanded the lighting range to the wooden house areas of Beer Avenue, Music Avenue, Haiyun Avenue, and East-West and East Districts, covering the entire area of ​​the Beer City.

"We have connected all the lighting in the entire beer city together. This is a brand new breakthrough, with stronger visual impact and far exceeding previous years. On this basis, we have arranged more than 10,000 fireworks in the high altitude area of ​​the entire beer city, which will bring an unexpected visual feast." Wang Gong, executive director of the Beer Festival cultural event, introduced. At present, Wang Gong and his team are in full swing to conduct lighting debugging.

It is reported that the light and fireworks show has two best viewing points: one is the cheers sculpture place, and the other is the stage on the south side of the Avenue of Stars. In addition, since this year's light fireworks show covers the entire Beer City, the light fireworks show will be held in unified music from 19:30 to 22:00 every day after the opening of the Beer Festival, creating an atmosphere of carnival throughout the city. In order to strengthen the layout of the beer city landscape and light, reflect high-tech applications, and create an atmosphere of important nodes in the city, this year's Beer Festival designed four performance projects with light and shadow points, located in the middle of Cheers Sculpture, Beer Museum , Craft Brewery, and Avenue of Stars. After the opening of the Beer Festival, there will be a circular performance of 19:30 to 22:00 every day, each session will be about 15 minutes.

Wang Gong introduced that the cheer sculpture was designed as an interactive projection show. This is an interactive WeChat game. The other three are naked-eye 3D shows: The Beer Museum uses the entire building to display the culture and history of beer through large changes in light and shadow. The exterior wall of the craft brewery shows the stories during the beer brewing process, which are both humorous and popular. The most special thing is the electronic conch in the middle of the Avenue of Stars, which is currently the largest interactive light and shadow show in the world. Visitors can scan the QR code on their mobile phone to participate in the song order.

"This year's light and shadow show was creatively produced by top domestic teams who participated in the G20 and SCO Summit. The nearly 50 laser projectors used are the most advanced equipment in the world. One unit is worth nearly 2 million yuan, and the visual effect will be very amazing." Wang Gong told reporters.

200 international performance team dressed up as a grand parade

According to the needs of the beer city expansion this year, art parades have also expanded the route and scale of parades. The parade will take the Avenue of Stars as the main line, extending to the Music Avenue and the Beer Avenue, adding interactive performances; the team size will also exceed previous years, reaching 200 people.

The girl honor guard, which is loved by tourists, has undergone a brand new upgrade. This year, 12 large air-floating models have been set up in the beer city, with marine life as elements. This is a brand new parade team. The Beer Festival mascot and doll parade team will also bring exciting performances.

Wang Gong introduced that more foreign teams will come to help this year's art parade. 12 actors from Brazil , Cuba and Colombia formed a samba group to bring a passionate and unrestrained samba dance performance. 32 Cankang dancers from Russia showed high-difficulty and hot dance poses. Every weekend, more foreign teams will participate in the parade, such as the ZumaZuma acrobatic group from Africa and two brass bands from the United States and Brazil, will also appear to let tourists feel the exotic style. The art tour is divided into three time periods: 10:30, 14:30, and 17:30, and lasts about an hour.
