This year the Firework Display is back and it’s bigger and brighter than ever. From Alexandra Palace’s unique panoramic viewpoint, the London skyline provides the backdrop for this spectacular show that will light up the sky with a huge display that also includes an epic laser show. The display starts from 9pm on Friday and 8pm on Saturday.
Londoners looking for something unique this bonfire night are invited to discover a new addition to the festival line up, the Day of the Dead Parade. This epic spectacle will feature Lady Layton’s Big Band Extravaganza, marching bands from New Orleans, an amazing 20 piece drum machine, fire dancers, Aztec Angels, giant illuminated colourful skeletons and even the actual puppets used in the latest James Bond film ‘Spectre’. This will be the largest and most spectacular day of the dead parade seen in London, something not to be missed.
The Giant Bonfire located in the huge Family Area provides the perfect place for crowds to keep warm on a November eve.
