Our Fireworks Festival 2024 lit up London with an unforgettable two-night celebration on November 1 and 2, setting a new standard for bonfire night festivities. This year, we introduced an exciting new feature—a mesmerizing 360-degree drone show by Celestial, which created an awe-inspiring display against the stunning backdrop of the London skyline. Plus our signature Fireworks Display was more spectacular than ever, an audio-visual experience with an unforgettable finale. Check out the official fireworks display soundtrack below.

Festival-goers embraced the festive vibes at the UK’s largest German Bier Fest in our Great Hall, which this year welcomed tribute acts ABBA Revival on Friday and Oasis tribute Definitely Mightbe on Saturday. Over in the StrEATlife village, DJ sets from The Cuban Brothers and UK garage legends Artful Dodger kept the crowd moving, while Big Smoke Brass, added their bold brass sounds to the mix, bringing even more energy to the night.

The Café de Pally tent was another big hit, featuring interactive and soulful performances by Gospeloke, the smooth sounds of Double Bass Dan, and lively sets from both Miss Jones Band and the Iron Boot Scrappers.

We also enjoyed a range of classic festival fun, including a huge bonfire, thrilling funfair rides, and street circus acts, while the ice rink offered disco skating for those looking to glide through the festivities.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to make the 2024 Ally Pally Fireworks Festival a truly memorable celebration! Explore our photo gallery, watch highlights of the epic drone and firework displays, and read what people had to say about this extraordinary event.
