FIREWORKS BY GRUCCI LIGHTS UP SAG HARBOR'S ANNUAL HARBORFROST!

BELLPORT, NY (February 9th, 2016) The annual Sag Harbor “HarborFrost” festival is a beloved, daylong winter event and this year, renowned Fireworks by Grucci has a stunning performance planned for the evening skies.

“This is really the perfect setting and time for a performance,” said Phil Grucci, President and Creative Director of Fireworks by Grucci. “Winter skies are a crisp blank canvas on which to paint striking, warm images. These images will be reflected on the harbor below, creating a kaleidoscope of color and designs.”

Grucci’s design concept for HarborFrost will utilize the finest variety of international fireworks and special effect pyrotechnics to create dazzling effects in three distinctive and exciting scenes:

The Opening - The opening is like the beginning of a drama movie; fast, intensive, and heart-pounding. The Grucci’s will begin by illuminating the sky with stunning effects which include:

· Vibrant Colorful Peony aerial shells

· Barrages of thunderous Titanium Salutes

The Feature Presentation - The body of the program will exhibit a magnificent assortment of brilliant fireworks. As the segments unfold, each brings an array of diverse effects displayed in a invigorating style creating the excitement, intensity and beauty that is the Grucci style. A sampling of the effects in the main act includes:

· Purple Glitter Rings with Green Pistils

· Orange Popping Flowers

· Red & Silver Coconuts

· Silver, Red & Blue Flashing Strobes

· Larger than life Smiley Face patterns floating in the sky

· Purple and Silver Waterfall aerial effects

· Animated low-level Grucci Grand Illuminations in vibrant Peach and Yellow colors

The Grucci Style Grand Finale - The Grucci Grand Finale provides a continuous lift and bombardment of light and sound, which is always rhythmically robust! Launched into the sky are colorful star shells; then peonies and chrysanthemum effects burst open one level higher; the final barrage of sound and light concludes with the powerful heart pounding Grucci Titanium Salutes that rattle the sky to finish the performance!
