Fireworks season starts early on the North Wales coast this year, with displays running from late October through to the first weekend of November. Here is every fireworks display and bonfire night we have confirmed so far, in date order. Click through to each listing for the full details and organiser contacts.
Outdoor displays depend on the weather and, on the beaches, the tide. Always check with the organiser before you set off.

Sunday 1 November: Abergele Fireworks Display
Abergele Town Council’s display on Pensarn Beach starts with a low-noise display at 6:30pm, which is a good option for younger children and anyone sensitive to loud bangs. The main display follows at 7:30pm. Sparklers and alcohol are not allowed, and with road closures expected around Pensarn Promenade, walking there is the easiest option.
