Organisers of MK firework display reflect on 2024 show's cancellation

The organisers of MK’s fireworks display have reflected on the cancellation of the 2024 show.

Keith Emmett and Sons had historically organised the Milton Keynes fireworks display at Campbell Park in the city centre.

However, the organisation announced in September that a fireworks display scheduled for last weekend would not take place as planned due to a lack of funds.

In a comment, the family reflected on the troubles that saw the show fail to take place sand said they would strive to continue to bring events to Milton Keynes.

They said, “Remember, Remember the 5th of November… For the Emmett family, this year truly marks the end of an era. This weekend gone would have been our annual fireworks and funfair, a time to come together in celebration and community spirit. For 43 wonderful years, we’ve had the privilege of bringing free fireworks to our home of Milton Keynes, creating a tradition that has warmed our hearts as much as yours.

“Given generations of cherished memories, dazzling lights, laughter, and togetherness that we have created with you all over the years. We will continue to bring you spectacular events and seasonal installations across Milton Keynes and look forward to making many more memories with you all.

“With all our gratitude, The Emmett Family”
