This is something straight out of Uchuu no Stellvia: the start of the annual Astroball competitions are accompanied by a fireworks display. In Fenspace, that display is projected onto the transparent roof of the arena's bleachers, with the expected sound effects piped in. There's no reason why the same system couldn't be used on Yuri's Night in Kandor, Pallas, any other domed settlement, or any station with sufficiently-large windows.
