The town of just over 10,000 inhabitants officially beat the record set last year by the city of Dubai, to claim the title of the biggest and best fireworks display ever.
Officials from Guinness World Record were on hand on Saturday evening to approve the fireworks display as a new world record.
The event was organized by local business Svea Fyrverkerier in cooperation with the local hardware store Sør-Tre, who collaborated to synchronize the spectacle.
The firework show went off in joint celebration of the switching on of the Christmas lights in Søgne, and an estimated 15,000 people enjoyed both events.
