Family Party on the Prom
Important Update for Our New Year's Eve Family Party!
Due to the forecast of high winds tomorrow evening, we have had to make the tough decision to cancel the fireworks display this year.
The rest of the New Year's Eve Family Party will continue as planned, with plenty of fun activities for all the family, including the LeylandHosen Bierkeller Band, who will be performing during the afternoon. There will also be children’s rides, themed food and drink cabins, and a free skating rink as part of the festive village. The New Year's Eve projection show will still go ahead as planned at 6pm.
The festivities continue with the skating rink and Christmas village open until 9pm, and the iconic six-mile Illuminations display illuminating the Promenade from 4.30pm to 1am.
At midnight, the projection show that will feature in the family party will be shown on The Blackpool Tower to mark the start of 2025.
