Silvester - Skala

Silvester sa v Piešťanoch, čo si ja pamätám zvyčajne oslavoval aj “oficiálnym – veľkým” ohňostrojom. Najmä v minulosti sa odpaľoval najmä z brehov Váhu, zhruba v úrovni kúpaliska EVA. Preto väčšina divákov sa naň pozerala z Kolonádneho mostu. Malo to svoje čaro, aj ohnivé efekty nad vodou boli v takomto prostredí krajšie. V roku 2010 sa ohňostroj odpaľoval zo strechy Auparku, v uzavretej zástavbe. Čo bolo dosť nešťastné rozhodnutie. Výhľad naň bol naozaj obmedzený a jeho potenciál sa razom znížil. Menšie ohňostroje prebiehali aj v roku 2010 a aj v minulosti na rôznych miestach po celom meste.

In Piešťany, as far as I remember, New Year’s Eve was usually celebrated with an “official – grand” fireworks display. Especially in the past, it was launched mainly from the banks of the Váh River, roughly at the level of the EVA Spa. Therefore, most spectators watched it from the Colonnade Bridge. It had its charm, and the fiery effects over the water were more beautiful in such an environment. In 2010, the fireworks were launched from the roof of Aupark, in a closed urban area. It was a rather unfortunate decision. The view was significantly limited, and its potential was suddenly reduced. Smaller fireworks displays also took place in 2010 and in the past at various locations throughout the city.
