BIG BANGS!
- Texture
- It's time to celebrate that time when the crazy anarchist tried to blow up British parliament again. The Pelorus Trust Sky Show will be lighting Wellington skies on Wednesday night for Guy Fawkes. Prepared by world-renowned fireworks maestro Robert McDermott, the show will start at 9pm and will run for about 15 minutes to a soundtrack broadcast on Classic Hits and ZM, with fireworks set off around the harbour. Around 100,000 spectators are expected to show up for the big bangs, so get there early to grab a good spot, or head to the hills for the best views. Also, to get into the party vide, before the fireworks, check out The Ride Of Your Life Spectacle, a three-hour show featuring live music from the Beatles Review and the Beat Girls at Frank Kitts park. This show will also have choreographed water-sports performances from jet-skiers, wake-boarders, Thunder Cats and more. It's to raise money for the Wellington Free Ambulance, so donate a gold coin. This show starts at 6pm. And don't forget that 24-hour liquor ban that applies in the central city area, Oriental Bay and on the Mt Victoria summit, so no sneaky beers. -Stacey
