Alcohol will be strictly prohibited at the event and sparklers are also banned to help keep everyone safe. Organisers are recommending those attending the Fireworks Festival walk or take public transport to get to the event where possible.

If you are travelling by car, please be aware that the car parks are likely to be busy, so allow for additional time to travel and consider parking at the other designated festival car parks, including Glasgow Club Easterhouse, The Lochs Shopping Centre and Platform, the art centre on Westerhouse Road, which are all in walking distance.

Visitors will have access to Glasgow Fort’s shops and restaurants as normal throughout the day, including the newly opened Leopardo Pizza, as well as Monterey Jacks, Five Guys and Nando’s, and many more.

There will also be a selection of pop-up food stalls around the venue during the festival. Glasgow Fort will be open from 9am to 7pm on this day as well, however certain stores opening times will vary.
