New Year’s Eve in St Ives is a truly magical experience, with stunning fireworks over the iconic harbour and one of the UK’s largest fancy dress celebrations. Organized by St Ives BID under BID 3 “Marketing and Events”, this event not only brings the community together but also supports local businesses by attracting thousands of visitors.
Behind the Scenes
The event’s success is thanks to months of planning and coordination with key teams, including police, medical support, fire services, and professional pyrotechnics. St Ives BID ensures safety, security, and an unforgettable experience for the 40,000+ attendees who have made this celebration a tradition.
Why It Matters
Without BID’s involvement, the fireworks, enhanced safety measures, and overall organization simply wouldn’t happen. These efforts encourage visitors to stay in town longer, benefiting local businesses during a crucial time of year.
Fireworks and Festivities
This year’s fireworks will be better than ever, thanks to a carefully designed display by local experts, Celebration Pyrotechnics. Alternatives like lasers or drones were explored but deemed unsuitable due to the unique location and environmental challenges of Smeaton’s Pier.
Let’s make next year even more spectacular—see you in St Ives for NYE 2025!
Don’t forget your fancy dress!!
