Aberdeen’s fireworks display is set to return to the Beach Esplanade, on 5 November, for the first time since 2019.
The display, which has been missing from the calendar for the past two years due to COVID19 restrictions, is typically attended by more than 10,000 people and its return will be the first event in Aberdeen’s 2022 Winter Festival programme.
The free event, organised by Aberdeen City Council and hosted by Northsound 1’s Jeff and Lauren in the Morning, will include fire jugglers and a charity firewalk, provided by Inspire, from 7pm, with the main fireworks display at 8pm.
Created by Fireworx Scotland, the display promises to dazzle crowds and entertain young and old with this year’s theme of Music Through the Decades, with attendees invited to listen out for songs from their favourite era.
Aberdeen City Council Co-leader, Councillor Alex Nicoll, said: “We are keenly anticipating the return of the fireworks display at the Beach Boulevard this year.
“The event has proven extremely popular with families and people of all generations over the years and it will be exciting for the public to experience the fantastic display that Fireworx Scotland have put together.”
Park and Ride buses, provided by Stagecoach, will be available from Bridge Don, Kingswells, and Souter Head Road at Aberdeen Altens Hotel (formerly Altens Thistle Hotel) to bring people to and from the event. Return travel is available for £3 for adults, £1.50 for children and £7 for a family ticket for up to 2 adults and 3 children.
People are advised they should not bring alcohol, fireworks, or sparklers to the display. We are also asking that people do not bring large bags with them to the event and note that bag searches will be taking place on arrival.
