Thousands Expected To Attend Family Friendly Bonfire Night
Up to 14,000 people are expected to take part in this years Bonfire Night Celebrations Leeside.
This is the 10th anniversary of the family friendly event, which began in an effort to reduce the amount of illegal bonfires held across the city.
Major outdoor events are planned in five parks in Knocknaheeny, Farranree, Mayfield, Mahon and Togher, with bouncy castles, sports, face-painting, workshops, and local musicians providing entertainment.
