Prague decided that the New Year’s Day celebrations on January 1, 2020, will be without traditional fireworks. There will be a video mapping instead.
While many people may miss the big show, the change comes as no surprise. Noise from the fireworks, which upsets both pets and wildlife, is the main issue.
“It is a helpful step not only for all citizens of the metropolis who are sensitive to excessive noise, but also for animals that face unnecessary stress every year,” Prague City Councilor Jan Chabr said.
The City Council still did not decide on a place where the videomapping will be projected. A videomapping is a precisely timed animated projection tailored to fit a specific space, usually the facade of a large building.
