REVIEW: Fireworks, Food, and Fun at Fawkes Festival | Red Hot Chilli Pipers | Bonfire Night | Edinburgh 2024


This past Bonfire Night, I had the pleasure of attending Fawkes Festival in Edinburgh. What a fantastic night it was! The crisp air, the mouthwatering aromas of street food, and the explosion of colours in the sky came together to create an experience I'll never forget.


Street Food Vendors: A Culinary Adventure

The Fawkes Festival had a great variety of street food vendors. As I wandered around, the delicious scents wafting through the air beckoned me to check them out. I found everything from pizzas and burgers to churros, catering to all tastes.



Fairground Rides: Thrills and Chills

With waltzers and twisters, and others in between, Fawkes Festival features a range of rides that appeal to all ages.


The Bonfire: A Blaze Of Glory

You can't celebrate the occasion without a bonfire, and on the opposite side of the field, behind safety barriers, was a towering and crackling blaze.



Red Hot Chilli Pipers: Bagrock Time

As excitement built for the fireworks, the festival came alive with a fantastic live performance by the Red Hot Chilli Pipers. The energy in the crowd was contagious!


Their unique blend of traditional Scottish tunes mixed with modern rock had everyone dancing and singing along as the bagpipes and drums echoed out across the Royal Highland Centre.




The Fireworks Display: A Showstopper

As the night sky darkened, it was finally time for the fireworks display, which was nothing short of spectacular. Complimented brilliantly with lights and lasers, the first explosion illuminated the sky, and I felt the collective excitement pulsating through the crowd. Orchestrated superbly by 21CC, each burst was carefully synchronised to the music, creating a breathtaking spectacle of sound and vision.
