Fireworks – Blackpool World Firework’s Championships 2022
Save the dates;
Saturday 1 October Saturday 15 October Thursday 27th and Friday 28 October
The fireworks are launched from the beach in front of the tower festival headlands
They can be viewed best on the promenade or on north or central piers (admission charge to piers may apply)
Firing usually occurs around 8PM
Traffic is normally gridlocked along the promenade before and after the fireworks, parking is near impossible and will cost you. Traffic wardens operate in packs on busy nights in order to keep roads clear for emergency services – if you park somewhere along the prom – you will get a ticket unless you’re in a clearly marked bay with pay and display. There’s literally no free parking in Blackpool – the locals will have snapped up what little is available for the 90 mins you’re allowed…
It affects the trams and busses alike. Allow plenty of time for your journey and expect to walk cos you’ll get there faster… Wrap up warm and wear a good water and wind proof coat – cos The weather can turn in an instant.
