Remember, remember, Tuesday the fifth of November… But every Londoner knows that the real celebration happens the weekend before (Fri 1 Nov — Sat 2 Nov 2024), at Alexandra Palace Fireworks Festival. Lighting up Ally Pally’s iconic view of the capital’s skyline, and taking over the 196 acres of parkland, London’s biggest and best fireworks display will this year be preceded by a spectacular drone show, marking an exciting first for the venue.
Alongside the legendary display, the festival also presents big top Cafe De Pally, which includes a plethora of live music and singalongs aided by a brass band, and choir. Some of London’s best street food, cocktail and craft beer vendors make up the StrEATlife Festival Village, soundtracked by funk-fuelled, comedy duo The Cuban Brothers (Fri 1 Nov), and by UK garage legends Artful Dodger (Sat 2 Nov).
As part of the festivities, the UK’s largest German bier festival returns to the Palace’s Great Hall, with oompah bands, live music, and lederhosen aplenty. Oasis tribute act, Definitely Mightbe (Fri 1 Nov) and Abba Revival (Sat 2 Nov) take to the stage, with more DJs to be announced.
The Park will also play host to a huge bonfire, funfair and entertainment for all the family, and visitors can also step inside the Palace, with the ice rink featuring a variety of skating sessions and an ice disco.
Book online for all activities Friday 1 November and Saturday 2 November 2024.
