THE city's Bonfire Night celebrations at Glasgow Green will not go ahead again this year it has been confirmed. 

The event last took place in 2019 before it was cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and COP26 in 2021. 

There was no specific reason given for the event not taking place in 2022 and 2023, but the Glasgow Times reported last year that Glasgow Life, the arms-length organisation, which runs culture and leisure services for Glasgow City Council, said they had no plans to stage a fireworks event "this year or in the future".

They confirmed today that the event will also not take place this year. 

A spokesperson said the approach is more "environmentally friendly" and causes less disruption to local residents. 

Their full programme of festive events is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

A spokesperson for Glasgow Life said: "There are no current plans for a fireworks show at Glasgow Green on November 5, 2024.

"This approach, which we took last year, is more environmentally friendly, reduces disruption to local residents and allows for investment in other events.

"Our focus is on delivering a full programme of festive entertainment which will bring visitors into the city across an extended period to enjoy Glasgow’s shopping, events and nightlife. 

"We will share details of Glasgow’s festive programme in the coming weeks."

It was also confirmed today that there will be no fireworks at the Christmas Lights switch on event in George Square this year. 

There were no fireworks last year as organisers said they wanted to focus on live entertainment and the switch on itself. 

We reported earlier this week Pollokshields has been designated as the first Firework Control Zone (FCZ) in the city.

This means the use of fireworks, except sparklers, will be prohibited from Friday, November 1 to Sunday, November 10.

The ban covers both public and private spaces, including gardens, after being approved by a review panel consisting of council, police and fire service officials.
