Frequently Asked Questions

Will the display go ahead if it's raining?

Rain alone doesn't affect if the display will go ahead. The Visit Blackpool events team in partnership with Titanium Fireworks will monitor the weather conditions in the lead up to the displays. They will particular focus on the wind speed and direction and storm conditions which are the key factors in any decision to postpone or cancel a display. So if you are planning to attend bring a brolly, wrap up warm and enjoy the show.

For the latest live updates, we recommend keeping an eye on the Visit Blackpool social media channels.

Where is the best place to watch the display?

The firework display will take place over the beach in front of the Blackpool Tower. Head to the Central Promenade between Central Pier and North Pier to watch the display.
