We are delighted to have continued support from many local businesses and organisations for this years event!

At the recent Fireball making nights (hosted by Stonehaven Engineering Ltd.) we had a visit from Barry Reid of Reids Gold Brewery, who make the fabulous Fireballs Beer.

Joining Barry was Neil Thomson, regional director of Stewart Milne Homes North who said:

“Stewart Milne Homes is very proud to sponsor the Stonehaven Hogmanay Fireballs for the fourth year.

HAPPY HOGMANAY!!

What a night! More than ten thousand of you turned out to celebrate with us on Hogmanay, and we hope you enjoyed the show!

The atmosphere was amazing and the weather was very kind to us. A massive thank you goes out to all of the volunteers who gave up their time to marshal for us.

Also a huge thanks to Newtonhill Pipe Band, Guarana Street Band and PyroCeltica fire performers for keeping the huge crowd entertained before the main event.

Get the (Fireball) beers in!

What?

Stonehaven Fireballs

The Fireball Ceremony is Stonehaven's unique way to welcome in the New Year and greet friends and neighbours. As the midnight chimes ring out on December 31st, approximately 40 men and women parade up and down the High Street swinging fiercely flaming balls around their heads.

When?

People start to gather in the High Street from 10.00pm onwards on December 31st. The Stonehaven fireball festival starts at midnight, and lasts for approximately 20 minutes.

We have to close access to the High Street when we reach capacity. This can happen any time after 11.00pm, so don't leave it too late or you may be disappointed.

It is followed immediately afterwards by a fireworks display.
