The best Bonfire Night events in Liverpool 2026

Liverpool’s most famed musical export once sang “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, and this week will see Lucy swapped out for fireworks. We may have tried (and failed) to fit a Beatles pun in, but don’t let distract from the sparkers being lit, the fireworks being manned, and the darkening night skies just days away from playing host to a cacophony of lights, sound and colour. 

With Bonfire Night just a few more nights away, any fun-loving Scouser should be looking for how to spend it on or around 5th November. Look no more, as we have the best firework displays and Liverpool Bonfire Night events down below.
