Fireworks at Callendar Park
5November
Bonfire Night in Falkirk comes with a grand backdrop, as the free fireworks go up over Callendar Park with Callendar House behind them. The display is back for 2026 and it's a big night out for the whole family: around 30,000 people came along in 2023. Local DJ Craigie P gets things going with music from 6.30pm, and the fireworks start at 7.30pm. Wrap up warm, bring the children and find a spot on the grass in good time. It's on Thursday 5 November in Callendar Park, Falkirk, and it's free.
