Another video, a YouTube livestream, from Tom Does Disney, showcases the entire fireworks test this evening:
Although Disney has not confirmed that this EPCOT fireworks testing is for HarmonioUS, it is likely, since the new nighttime spectacular was announced well before the closure and was expected to premiere this year.
Disney’s official description of HarmonioUS reads:
Harmonious is one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created for a Disney Park. The show is a beautifully crafted dreamscape of Disney music and images, reimagined by diverse cultural musicians and artists from around the world. It’s a transformative experience, where we can discover how Disney music has the power to inspire and unite us all with the magic of possibility.

HarmonioUS is set to replace IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, which ran from 1999 through 2019. The short-lived EPCOT Forever show, which debuted shortly before Disney World’s temporary pandemic closure, was originally meant to serve as filler between the end of IllumiNations and the debut of Harmoni0US, but it is now unlikely to return.

It is important to note that that neither Disney World nor the Walt Disney Company have confirmed an official debut date for the HarmonioUS fireworks. At this time, all nighttime spectaculars, including Magic Kingdom’s popular Happily Ever After castle fireworks show, are temporarily suspended.
