The Best Bonfire Night and Firework Events in Glasgow

A hot drink warming up your hands, you and the family all in your big coats, and the sky lighting up in blue, red, purple, green, and orange - Bonfire Night is one of the cosiest times of the year, and one of the best night out with your family or loved ones. 

Unfortunately, there seem to be fewer Bonfire Night events across the UK each year, with Glasgow Green’s official fireworks indefinitely cancelled. But there are still some brilliant fireworks displays in Glasgow and the surrounding areas to enthral you. So here’s where to watch the fireworks in Glasgow in 2024!
