Getting to the Event
Traffic builds early and roads into Blackpool get very busy due to the sheer volume of traffic – Public transport is recommended.
If you are wishing to travel by car, visitors are advised to park n the southern car parks and use the trams to travel directly to the event.
The fireworks are fired from the North Pier – so for some of the best views of the displays – book your seats at the Viva Vegas Diner & Bar
