This year’s Seapark Fireworks event will take place on Saturday 22 October at Seapark Recreational Grounds Holywood.

The event which is a staple on Ards and North Down Borough Council’s events programme is always a hugely popular event with lots on offer for the whole family.

The fun will kick off at 4pm with the children’s fun-fair and a fantastic food fair with everyone’s favourite foods from hot dogs to crepes, Holywood’s favourite cinnamon scones, pulled pork and lots more. There will be plenty of hot drinks on offer too to keep everyone warm!

At 6.15pm, popular local band The Jukes take to the stage to entertain the crowds with their fantastic repertoire of hits guaranteed to get the crowds dancing.

The event will draw to a close after the spectacular fireworks display at 7.45pm. Prepare to be thrilled as the sky above Belfast Lough will come alive with explosions of colour and sparkle.

Commenting on the event, Sharon Mahaffy, Tourism Manager with Ards and North Down Borough Council said, “We’re looking forward to another great night at Seapark this year – good food, good music and spectacular fireworks – perfect ingredients for a fun night for all the family. Everyone is welcome to come dressed up in your spookiest Halloween costumes but make sure you wrap up warm and bring a torch!”
