Spectacular drone display to replace cancelled fireworks after Scarborough Goldwing Parade
Scarborough’s South Bay will still light up following the annual Goldwing Light Parade this September, after local traders stepped in to secure a replacement for the cancelled firework display.
Scarborough South Bay Traders Association has arranged a spectacular drone light show to take place on Saturday September 12, immediately following the Scarborough Goldwing Light Parade.
The display is expected to begin at approximately 9:15pm and will be completely free for the public to enjoy.
The drones will be visible from across Scarborough’s South Bay, with Sandside recommended as the optimal viewing area.
The new display has been organised by Scarborough South Bay Traders Association in conjunction with the Scarborough Goldwings Light Parade, with support from Visit North Yorkshire, North Yorkshire Council, Scarborough Town Council and The Anchor Fish & Chips.
The event will also support the fundraising efforts of the Scarborough Goldwings, with proceeds going to Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
Following the cancellation of the traditional fireworks, South Bay traders were determined that one of Scarborough’s much-loved annual events should still have a fitting finale.
The result will see drones take to the skies above the bay, bringing a modern new element to an evening already famous for the sight of illuminated Goldwing motorcycles travelling along Scarborough’s seafront.
The combination of the Goldwing Light Parade and drone display is expected to create a unique spectacle for residents and visitors alike.
The Goldwing Light Parade begins at 8pm followed by the drone display at approximately 9.15pm.
The event is free to attend, with optimal drone viewing from Sandside.
Two spectacular shows. One incredible night.
