The fantastic fireworks displays are back, with free shows every Saturday evening until 18th November 2023.
The displays are organised by the Southend Seaside Partnership and Southend BID.
The fireworks are launched from a barge which is moored out in the Thames Estuary, east of Southend Pier.
This means the displays can be viewed from the Sea Life Adventure all the way along the seafront to the Genting Casino. However, for the best atmosphere, head to the central seafront area in front of the arcades.
Seafront car parks become full up early for the fireworks – use town centre car parks for a short walk to the seafront.
