The Flamborough Fire Festival has deep roots, dating back decades, this fiery extravaganza has been a beloved tradition, bringing together families and friends to celebrate the summer solstice in style.

Originally conceived as a small community gathering, the Flamborough Fire Festival has grown into a must-attend event, drawing crowds from across the country.

Throughout its history, the festival has remained true to its roots, embracing the ancient tradition of celebrating fire as a symbol of renewal and vitality. From fire performances to mesmerising fireball displays, the festival continues to captivate audiences year after year.

2024 Event Details - What We Know So Far

The Flamborough Fire Festival is set to take place in the heart of Flamborough during the summer months, with the exact date yet to be confirmed.

This year's event promises an wide range of activities and attractions to delight visitors of all ages.

It will kick off with an electrifying line-up of fire performances, featuring talented artists showcasing their skills with flames including fire dancing and daring fire-eating acts.

One of the highlights of the Flamborough Fire Festival is the Fireballs procession, where giant illuminated orbs are paraded through the streets of Flamborough. Led by a procession of performers, musicians, and community members.

In addition to the fire performances and Fireballs procession, visitors can also look forward to a spectacular fireworks display which will cap off the evening of the Festival parade which will include the Flamborough fireballs, fire torches, Viking Longship and the Torchlight Procession when everyone is invited to take part with their torches.

If you'd like to be a part of the parade, and not just a spectator, you can! To get involved you'll need to purchase a Viking Torchlight Procession ticket before the day. They sell out fast so keep an eye on the Flamborough Fire Festival website so you can grab your ticket when they go on sale.
