appropriate entertainment? appropriate Engerlishe?

TT: Penghu's monthlong fireworks festival begins on May 2

The Penghu County Government, which has organized the event since 2003, plans large firework displays on designated nights for a month.

my query is not whether letting off large quantities of noisy, polluting fireworks is still an appropriate form of entertainment
(don't get me wrong, i love watching fireworks, i just worry that in public displays they might damage the environment, and in private displays they come damn close to damaging what little hair i have left)

The display on the opening night ... and will feature several designs of fireworks, including two that will display a large windmill and the English word “Go!”

but "Go" ?
Go home (Gringo)?
Go (Yankees)?
Go Ahead? (come on, that joke was old ten years ago)
Go, Windmill?

  1. "i just worry that in public displays they might damage the environment": good point, and i heard there would be a live concert of pop stars (again?! like in all kinds of festivals) to abuse our ears on the last day of the firework display...people really enjoy this? or it's the government thinking people would like it?
