Details of this year's annual fireworks display in West Dunbartonshire has been announced - see here.

The authority's event is back for 2025 and is set to provide a "promising fun-filled evening" for all at Levengrove Park in Dumbarton.

Taking place on Wednesday, November 5 gates are set to open from 6.30pm in order for the fireworks display to begin promptly at 7.30pm.

The 20-minute show will feature a range of fireworks, including comets, mines, spinners, hummers, whistles, and strobes, and will light up the sky in an array of colours.

The build-up to the main event starts at 7pm, and visitors will be able to enjoy hot food and drinks, as well as a small children’s fun fair and music.

West Dunbartonshire Council bosses have asked visitors to arrive early and take public transport wherever feasible, as parking restrictions will be in effect and there will be no official event parking.

There are two train stations (Dalreoch and Dumbarton Central) within a 5 – 10 minute walking distance of Levengrove Park and bus stops on Risk Street, Quay Street and Bowie Street.

People are also being reminded not to bring their own fireworks or sparklers, as these pose a safety risk in large groups, to leave pets at home, and follow advice from stewards at all times during the event.

Councillor Clare Steel, Chair of West Dunbartonshire Leisure Trust, which is staging the event on behalf of the council, said: "We are delighted to be hosting our free fireworks display again this year. Residents and visitors are encouraged to come to Levengrove Park to enjoy a fantastic show suitable for the whole family.

"We expect the event to be popular, therefore we recommend that visitors use public transport - both train and bus services are available nearby.

"If you must drive, please observe the parking restrictions in the surrounding area and be considerate of the park’s neighbours."
