Bridge of Allan Fireworks 40th Year
Tuesday 5th November 2019 from 5:45pm
Come and join us in Bridge of Allan for the 40th year of our traditional Bonfire night on 5th November. This year promises to be better than ever with a bumper fireworks display and live music from Craig John as Freddie Mercury and award-winning multi-instrumentalists, the Cabeytu Brothers.
Family friendly, refreshments, fireworks, a huge bonfire and lots of fun. All profits from this get returned to the local community through our local proceeds initiatives.
Craig John is highly regarded as the UK No.1 tribute to Freddie Mercury touring Europe for 25 years!! Craig’s voice is unique, the power, the sound of Freddie himself… having performed to thousands of queen fans all over Europe.
