Local entertainment includes the L&P Rockers and Anna Tukuitoga. More acts are being confirmed. The night includes rides for kids and food for sale.
The Paeroa Fireworks Display has been run by Paeroa Lions for 27 years. Before then, it was run by Paeroa Jaycees. The event has been going for more than 40 years, making it one of the longest-running displays in New Zealand.
The club always holds the event on the last Saturday before fireworks go on sale. Crowds around the 4000 mark come to the event held in Paeroa Domain.
The night helps to raise money to fund various community projects such as school starter packs and the walkway around Primrose Hill. Organisers are including a special Halloween costume competition with prizes for the best-dressed at the fireworks display.
