Treetech have brought Guy Fawkes back to Christchurch with a fantastic show to blow you away! Get your family and friends together and enjoy the amazing pyrotechnics display brought to you by Treetech; with the support of radio partner The Breeze.
The spectacle begins at 9pm, so make sure you arrive with plenty of time to grab a prime spot. To ensure spectator safety, several roads in the New Brighton area will be closed this year.
If postponed, the event will occur at the same time on Sunday 6 November.
