Friday Night Fireworks & Free Live Music at Key West brings together a fireworks display over the sea and free live music at Key West on Bournemouth Pier. The event runs on Friday 24 and Friday 31 July 2026, offering an easy, unhurried way to see out the week beside the water.
What to expect
Free live music sets the tone through the evening, with a fireworks display lighting up the sky above the pier. Key West sits right out over the water, so there are wide sea views on every side, and the promenade and beach either side of the pier make natural spots to watch from too. Line-up details and timings are confirmed closer to the date, so it is worth checking the venue’s official listing.
Planning your visit
Bournemouth Pier stretches out from the seafront in the centre of town, within easy reach of the beach, the Lower Gardens and plenty of places to eat and drink beforehand. The event is free, so no ticket is needed to come along, though the seafront can get busy on a summer Friday evening — allow extra time for parking or walk in from the town centre. Check the venue’s official listing for the latest times.
