Groomsport Fireworks Display?

Groomsport’s popular fireworks display will take place on Saturday 22 August, with the bonus of an earlier start of 10pm making it a real family affair. With a fantastic entertainment line-up, this free event has all the elements for a family evening out with music, food and drinks available on site, a fun fair and the spectacular fireworks finale.

For the children, from 12 noon – 10pm, there will be a funfair in operation and from 2pm to 4pm; there will be Plant & Play, children’s crafts and an animal roadshow at Cockle Row. There will also be a speciality food fair on site all day providing a wide array of food and refreshments, another great reason to visit Groomsport and make a day of it!

At 7pm, the music programme will commence and local TV and radio presenter Ralph McClean will guide the audience through the event’s performers. Malojian - Steve Scullion’s indie rock act - will get the party started with their melodic and fresh tunes attracting praise from the likes of Lauren Laverne and Fun Lovin’ Criminals singer Huey Morgan.

Next up, is the Nigel Mooney band – one of Ireland’s finest song writers and winner of Ireland’s bestselling jazz album. His sensitive, tenor voice, soulful jazz guitar stylings and preference for an acoustic sounding jazz approach to blues have made him a unique and popular artist.

The superb headline act will not disappoint, taking to the stage at 8.45pm, the Neil Diamond Tribute band “It’s A Beautiful Noise” is the perfect end to the evening. This fantastic finale will feature all the spectacular songs of the world class legendary singer - Groomsport will be rocking!

There is a strict no glass policy on-site, so any alcohol consumed must be from the bar area. A special late night bus service will run at 10.30pm and 11pm back to Bangor



Any one attending - where do you park as harbour being used for fireworks?

There is nowhere official in groomsport. The harbour is only just tolerated.
I have seen motorhomes parked along the street on fireworks nights but I am unsure if you will get moved on or not.

Was thinking of going, but concerned about where to park, it's tight enough without crowds!
