The Gunning Fireworks Festival is back again for 2026!
Come join us for a drive to Gunning and stay for the festivities on Saturday 12th Sept. It is a truly fantastic way to spend an afternoon and evening in the country.
Background on the Event
Since 1999 Fireworks Australia has run demonstrations to showcase the latest and greatest fireworks for their clients. The early showcase events attracted large public crowds along with fireworks professionals from around the country. Moving forward a few years, and due to popular public demand, the Gunning Fireworks Festival was born.
A fantastic family friendly event including rides, food stalls and of course FIREWORKS! Sure to be a great night out for young and old.
2025 will feature two synchronised musical fireworks displays, a new daytime smoke demonstration, performance of "Beating the Retreat" by the Tuggeranong Valley Band complete with live cannon simulations! as well as the ever-popular fireworks demonstration!
Gates to open from 3:00pm, our tip is to get in early to secure the best vantage point. We will aim to set up an area for all club members to sit together.
