Alexandra Palace Fireworks Festival 2024: London’s Biggest Bonfire Night

Get ready for a weekend of spectacular sights, sounds, and celebrations as Alexandra Palace’s legendary Fireworks Festival returns on the 1st and 2nd of November, lighting up the London skyline like never before.

This year’s event promises to be bigger and better, with exciting new additions that will make it an unmissable celebration of Bonfire Night.

At the heart of the festival is, of course, London’s largest and most breathtaking fireworks display.

Set against the backdrop of Ally Pally’s stunning view over the capital, this pyrotechnic extravaganza will light up the sky with vibrant colours and jaw-dropping patterns.

But before the fireworks take centre stage, prepare to witness a new highlight: a dazzling drone show!

This cutting-edge display, brought to you by the UK’s leading drone team, Celestial, will add a futuristic twist to the evening’s festivities.

With a perfectly synchronised playlist to accompany the visual spectacle, the whole experience will be a feast for the senses.

But the fun doesn’t stop with the fireworks. Ally Pally’s 196 acres will be buzzing with activity, offering entertainment for all ages and tastes.

Friday and Saturday nights will see the StrEATlife Festival Village come alive with top street food vendors, craft beer bars, and live music.

On Friday, the high-energy Cuban Brothers will blend funk, comedy, and breakdancing for a party vibe like no other, while Saturday’s lineup features UK garage icons Artful Dodger, promising a night of feel-good nostalgia with their signature 2-step hits.

And throughout both evenings, the fantastic Big Smoke Brass will fill the air with lively tunes, guaranteed to get everyone moving.

For those looking to indulge in a true Bavarian experience, step into the Great Hall for the UK’s largest German Bier Festival.

Expect all the traditional fun, with long tables, flowing pints, and lederhosen aplenty. Friday night will see Oasis tribute band Definitely Mightbe belt out all the Gallagher brothers’ greatest hits, from Wonderwall to Don’t Look Back in Anger, while Saturday’s headliners, ABBA Revival, will have the crowd dancing to every glittering disco hit.

With oompah bands and live DJs rounding out the entertainment, the bier festival is sure to be a raucous, singalong-filled affair.

For a more intimate yet equally lively atmosphere, Café De Pally is the place to be.

On Friday night, let your inner pop star shine with Gospeloke, a unique chance to sing your favourite tunes backed by a full gospel choir – whether it’s Beyoncé or Madonna, the choir will help you hit every note!

If that’s not your thing, don’t worry; you can simply soak in the party atmosphere with prizes, DJ sets, and plenty of singalong opportunities.

On Saturday, the fun continues with barnstorming brass bands and retro acts like the Miss Jones Band and the Iron Boot Scrappers, mixing classic hits with quirky performances for a night you won’t forget.

Families and thrill-seekers alike will also find plenty to enjoy across the festival grounds.

A traditional funfair offers rides and games for all ages, while the towering bonfire will be the perfect spot to gather and warm up as the November air turns crisp.

Inside the Palace, the ice rink will be hosting a variety of skating sessions, including a lively ice disco, where visitors can glide along to festive tunes under sparkling lights.

Whether you’re coming for the mesmerising fireworks, the buzzing festival atmosphere, or just to enjoy a night of great food, drinks, and music, the Alexandra Palace Fireworks Festival promises two nights of unforgettable fun.

With so much to see and do, it’s the perfect way to celebrate Bonfire Night in true London style.
