Summer Friday firework displays and free live music at the iconic Bournemouth Pier.
Friday Night Fireworks & Free Live Music returns to Bournemouth Pier on Friday 24 July, part of the summer series of firework displays and live music that run throughout the season. It's one of those Bournemouth summer fixtures that brings together two things on one night: a firework display over the water and live music on the pier.
The fireworks are the main feature of the evening, with the display going off over the bay. It's a Friday night, so it's the kind of thing you can head to after work or a late dinner, and since it's on the pier, you're right there on the seafront for it. The live music runs alongside, with bands playing on the pier throughout the evening, so you can hang around for the music before and after the display.
Because it's an open-air event on the pier, it's a casual one. You don't need to book a seat or anything — you just turn up and find a spot. It's free to attend, so there's no ticket to sort in advance. The music is free too, which makes it an easy one to drop into without much planning. If you're already in town for the weekend, it's a straightforward way to spend a Friday night by the water.
