Now celebrating its 30th year, Southend City Fireworks has become a shining highlight of the city’s night‑time scene, drawing thousands to the seafront for safe, spectacular, and family‑friendly evenings filled with colour and excitement.

The event is proudly delivered by Seafront Businesses & Partners including: Star Amusements, Kingpins, Adventure Island, Sealife Adventure, Beaches Cafe Bar & Bistro, Southend-on-Sea City Council, Southend BID, c2c, Pebbles, The Hope Hotel, Papillon and Chinnerys.

The fireworks are launched from a barge out in the Estuary, just east of Southend Pier, giving you a brilliant, uninterrupted view of the show from anywhere along the seafront - from Sea-Life Adventure all the way to Genting Casino.

Firework displays may be cancelled in bad weather.
