5th November 2012
Location: Glasgow Green
Tickets: This event is free, and no ticket is required
Celebrate bonfire night in Glasgow Green, with Glasgow’s infamous and spectacular musical fireworks display.
Last years event was supported by ticketSOUP.COM ans so the theme will be based on songs from artists who will be performing at the SECC, including George Michael, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Duran Duran and JLS.
Last years fireworks display in Glasgow Green was the best yet. More than 50,000 explosions were set to music, with the timing almost perfect, and the biggest shells in the UK being fired up into the night sky.
The night is not just about fireworks though; there will be pre-show music and fun with Clyde 1′s Romeo and Knoxy, a funfair and food and drink stalls. Enough to make sure that everyone is entertained!
The Glasgow fireworks show offers a free, safe and family oriented evening of fun. Don’t miss one of the greatest events in Glasgow’s calendar!

STOP MOANIN, YOU SAD SAD PEOPLE, IT WAS FREE……..MISERABLE GITS…
Why doesn’t Glasgow Green have a bonfire along with the fireworks which you would expect given that it is Guy Fawkes night? I was in Leeds in 2010 and they had a bonfire in Hyde Park and it was brilliant.
Mike, I haven’t been yet but am going this year. I wondered myself if there would be a bonfire, I suspect it’ll be due to fact there’s alot of children attending and a bonfire maybe not so easily controlled as the fireworks. “wee peeps” running around excited / big fire, etc. Being Scotland…we just wrap up gid!! x
This years display was one of the best yet, very well organised and a great way to celebrate bonfire night! Hopefully it is as good next year!
Great display, could have done with less music but for me a great revisit of my childhood, came back from Ireland to see it well worth the visit.
was a great nite but spoiled by closing part glasgow green its never happened before i wont be going back why was half the park closed and why was radio clyde hidden out the way of the public
Was realy good, but they should not spoil the fireworks by playing music at the same time
Nicely done! It was really astonishing fireworks
I’ve never seen something like this before even i live in a such a big city in Czech Rep. I can’t just imagine how much cost the event like this..
Just come back from this years fireworks show. was good, but certainly nothing close to 50,000 explosions. closer to 500. with music so loud you couldn’t hear and of the whistles or bangs. the night would have been infinitely better with the music turned down for the show.
how’s the entrance from bridgeton train station? planning on getting the low level to there, is the park entrance via West Brewery going to be open?
Should be a Great Nite , it has been the last couple of years.
Take my young daughter to it.
The only thing to beware are the Young Fekin Idiots running about after the display and in the fairground fighting and throwing rockets indiscriminately.
So if you see someone Booting a Hoodie up the Arse it will probably be me.
