The rescheduled performance by Amir Morani Fireworks from India, winners of the 2023 title, will now take place on Friday 26 September, creating an unmissable weekend of back-to-back fireworks displays.

The full updated event schedule is as follows:

  • Friday 26 September 2025 – Amir Morani Fireworks representing India, Winner 2023
  • Saturday 27 September 2025 – Dance of Fire representing Ukraine, Winner 2019
  • Saturday 11 October 2025 – Orion representing Canada, Winner 2015

The events are all free to access with build-up starting from 7.30pm and displays starting at approximately 8.30pm, with the best viewing areas located along the promenade between Central Pier and North Pier.

So why not turn it into a weekend getaway? With plenty of attractions to keep you entertained during the day and accommodation to suit all budgets, it’s the perfect chance to experience all that Blackpool has to offer.

Cllr Lynn Williams, Leader of Blackpool Council, said:

"While we were disappointed to cancel the first event due to the lightning storm, public safety is always our top priority. We are delighted to announce a new date for Team India’s display – and with two firework displays in one weekend, and so many attractions on offer, it is the perfect excuse to make a weekend of it in Blackpool. “We look forward to welcoming audiences to what promises to be a spectacular series of displays along our famous seafront.”

This year’s event is the start of a spectacular four-year series of shows to crown the ultimate Champion of Champions for the World Fireworks Championship Blackpool. One winning team from recent years will return each season to battle for supremacy. Over the next three years, nine former champions will be invited back to compete head-to-head, with one heat winner emerging from each year. The excitement will culminate in 2028, when the three heat winners go head-to-head in a dramatic grand finale to determine the Champion of Champions.
