Follow the parade up Summerhill and into St Joseph’s CBS sports field where the fireworks will begin at 7pm.
Spleodar is notifying local residents about the planned fireworks associated with the festival to take precautions for the care of any domestic animals or pets at the time of the fireworks display.
Featuring a variety of events for kids of all ages and interests, Spleodar will conclude on Saturday 2 November with our inaugural Battle of the Bands – a celebration of our Rock stars of the future in our community.
