Salford City Academy's Community Hub welcomed families from across the local area for its first-ever Family Fireworks Event on Sunday 8th November, bringing the community together for a night of entertainment, celebration and spectacular displays.
The event was organised as part of the Community Hub programme, which aims to provide opportunities for local residents to come together and enjoy shared experiences. It was fantastic to see so many families, friends and community members in attendance and enjoying everything the evening had to offer.
Throughout the evening, visitors enjoyed a range of funfair rides, food vendors and stalls hosted by members of the local community. Younger guests were entertained by DJ Barry Barrington's children's disco, complete with popular character appearances that proved a hit with families.
The event also showcased local talent, with live performances from Broasis, Salford City Academy's talented Year 10 band, and Moonlight Rumours, whose lead singer is Assistant Principal Mr Nicholls. Visitors were also captivated by a range of exciting performances, including stilt walkers, a mirrored disco performer and fire eaters.
The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the fireworks. The event featured two displays, offering something for everyone. The 'Little Sparks' display at 5.30pm provided a smaller, quieter experience for younger children and those who prefer a less intense display. Later in the evening, the spectacular 'Big Bang' display lit up the night sky, providing a memorable finale to the celebrations.
A huge thank you goes to everyone who attended and supported the event, as well as the staff, volunteers and performers who helped make the evening such a success.
We hope everyone who attended had a wonderful evening and enjoyed being part of this special community celebration.
