14 October 2015 – Following the success of last year’s spectacular event, Get Living London is hosting a free, ticketed firework display in Victory Park, East Village – the former London 2012 Athletes’ Village.

A pyrotechnic extravaganza choreographed to contemporary music will light up the skies across E20. Entertaining the crowds before the fireworks is a 500 light display reacting to movement and the wind. Food and drink will be available to buy on the evening from East Village retailers; Tina, We Salute You, Firezza, Signorelli, Bottle Apostle, Neighbourhood, as well as soon-to-open Darkhorse Bar & Restaurant, Mama Lan and Fish House.

Firework enthusiasts simply need to enter a ballot via www.getlivinglondon.com/e20fireworks for the chance to get a pair of free tickets. The ballot opens on Wednesday 14 October at 1pm and closes at midnight on Sunday 25 October. Ticket winners will be contacted from Monday 26 October. Only ticketholders with wristbands will be allowed into the event space on the night*.

The East Village E20 Fireworks Night is part of Get Living London’s programme of annual events, following their successful summertime events earlier this year including the East Village E20 Outdoor Film Festival and the Wimbledon-themed East Village E20 Fair.
