Cambridge Fireworks 2016
Remember, remember the 5th of November for this year's display on Midsummer Common.
Wrap up warm and head down to Midsummer Common for 6pm on Saturday 5th November for Cambridge Fireworks 2016.
The evening of excitement is organised by Cambridge Live on behalf of Cambridge City Council, and starts at 6pm with the Thurston Fun Fair. There will be a variety of food stalls including hog roasts, candyfloss and toffee apples and other local food and drinks vendors. Yum!
The display takes place at 7.30pm, with the bonfire being lit straight after. The Thurston Fun Fair continues until 10pm.
So come along and enjoy all the ooohs and aahhs of this amazing firework display right in the heart of Cambridge. But please remember not to bring your own fireworks or sparklers for safety reasons. (Thank you!)
Entry
Entry is free, but donations of £2 per person on the night are encouraged.
Despite generous support from over 30 local businesses in the city, the event relies on individual donations. To give £3 to support Bonfire Night, members of the public can text BANG to 70500.
Please give generously to help keep this great event alive.
