Blackheath fireworks 6 November 2010 Penny for the Guy……
Published September 18, 2010 | 
Blackheath Fireworks has established itself as one of the biggest, best, and most popular free fireworks displays in the capital. But no public activity can be immune to the effects of cuts in public spending so pyrotechnophiles all over London are being asked to dig into their pockets for the price of a packet of sparklers to ensure that the Blackheath fireworks don’t end up as damp squibs this year.
Last year some 80,000 people flocked to the historic heath to see a stunning display. The whole event costs less than £1.50 a head. This year the event will again be generously backed by independent fund management company GLC Ltd, who have been involved with the Blackheath Fireworks display since 1994.
Mayor of Lewisham, Sir Steve Bullock, said: “We know that many people come back year after year to enjoy the spectacle of the Blackheath Fireworks display and it continues to attract new devotees all the time. Money is tight at the moment as we all know. But I don’t want to see this event cancelled without giving people the chance to show their support. Just £1 each from every one who attends would ensure that the skies sparkle as usual over the heath this year.”

WHERE Plymouth Harbour
WHEN 10th and 11th August 2010
WHAT TIME 9pm
The British Firework Championship 2010 is almost upon us.
One of the most exciting times in the UK fireworks calendar sees six professional teams vying against one another to be crowned British Fireworks Championship 2010.
Plymouth is once again the venue and the pilgrimage for many pyromaniacs has already begun. Hotels are booked and the town is fizzing with excitement as preparations are made for one of the countries most spectacular fireworks events.
Essex Pyrotechnics, 1st Galaxy and Reaction Fireworks will present their 10 minute displays on Tuesday the 10th August. Wednesday the 11th August will see Flashpoint, SM Art Pyrotechnics and Star Fireworks with their 10 minute efforts. Each team will be trying to outshine and out-bang the others.
Plymouth Hoe (which is a place, not a well known local lass) is the best place to view the fireworks. There will be entertainment in the form of a fairground (scream if you wanna go faster), live music and fat based foods for all the family.
It should be a brilliant 48 hours of pyro-action so take the wife, take the kids and take your mates for the best FREE fireworks display you will see this August!
Just to get your pyrotechnic juiced flowing, here is a video of last years finals. Enjoy!
Philadelphia 4th July Fireworks 2010
Published July 3, 2010 | WHAT: Independence Day Fireworks
WHERE: Philadephia Museum of Art
WHEN: 4th July 2010
WHAT TIME: 10:30pm
The City of Brotherly Love, celebrates Americas independence with a stunning fireworks display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
With a fantastic concert and the 4th of July parade to add to the daytime fun and the patriotic fireworks in the night to light up the skies above Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The whole city of Philadelphia has something to enjoy this Independence Day.
There are loads of great places to watch the fireworks for the 4th of July.
• Benjamin Franklin Parkway
• Boathouse Row
• Lemon Hill
• Martin Luther King Drive
• Kelly Drive
But we recommend the Benjamin Franklin Parkway where there will be huge TV screens and speakers all around to bring the fun to the masses.
As always at such large events, it is wise to arrive nice and early to secure a good spot for viewing the fireworks. We suggest bringing garden chairs, blankets, and even a picnic to enjoy the full day. If you are there early enough you might even be able to see the parade, concert and fireworks without even having to move. God bless America.
The concert begins at 8:30pm with songs and performances from Philadelphia’s finest. The all important 4th July parade starts at 11am and kicks off the family friendly day of entertainment and fun in the city of Philadelphia.
Of course the main event will be the fireworks which will fill the sky from about half past ten onwards. Find a good spot, stare up into the 4th July sky and enjoy!
