The councils also confirmed that The Big Feed will be in attendance to provide a range of food outlets for spectators.
David Booth, South Lanarkshire Council's Executive Director of Community and Enterprise Resources, said: "Strathclyde Country Park is a wonderful venue for the firework display and allows residents to enjoy the occasion safely at a professionally run event
"We encourage residents to follow advice from Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to ensure everyone celebrates fireworks night safely. "
The executive director has asked the public to be mindful of limited parking spaces with the beach car park closed on the day.
However, parking will be available at Hamilton Palace Sports Grounds, Low Parks Museum, the overflow car park at the rear of Aldi in the retail park, and at Keith Street and High Patrick Street.
Parking restrictions and fees will be lifted for the evening.
Booth added: “The event is expected to be very busy and we would advise anyone coming along to arrive early and enjoy the food outlets and the bonfire.
"If possible, travel by public transport or park further away and walk as there is limited parking in the park itself."
