The popular Cowes fireworks display has taken place on the final Friday of Cowes Week since the very earliest days of the regatta and is viewed by many as an intrinsic part of the onshore festivities.

It is an event for the community and the funding model has evolved in recent years to better reflect this, however, this year funding had fallen short before Lendy’s support.

This year’s display will take place on Friday 4th August at 9.30pm and the best places to view the display ashore are Cowes Parade, Castle Hill, Holy Trinity Church garden, Princes Green (as far as Egypt Point), and East Cowes Promenade.

There is also the chance to watch the display from the water, courtesy of Red Funnel and their Fireworks Cruises.
