Fireworks are back with a bang this September!

For 2022, the stunning displays, which are set to music, will take place once again over the beach in front of The Blackpool Tower. All of them are free to access.

• Saturday 17 September - Fireworks Factory from Finland

• Saturday 1 October - Caribe Fire FX from Barbados.

• Saturday 15 October  - Celtic Fireworks from Wales

• Friday 28 October - Celebratory display with Titanium Fireworks

All displays are subject to suitable weather conditions. Details of this year’s competing countries and firing times will be announced soon. Please check back for more information. Due to the popularity of the World Fireworks Championship Blackpool, there may be traffic delays arriving and leaving the event.  Take extra time to arrive and we would recommend if travelling by car to park in the southern car parks and use the tramway to travel to the event.  Alternative public transport via the rail systems and buses are also recommended. 

Parking

If travelling to the event by car, we strongly advise parking up early. Most central car parks are usually full a couple of hours before the event kicks off and roads become heavily congested. For a full list of Council-owned car parks, please click here. 

We look forward to seeing you at the World Fireworks Championship Blackpool 2022 for what promises to be a series of dazzling pyrotechnical displays.
