TWO special firework and light displays will take place at Saints' stadium this weekend.

Following a decision to move the town's main fireworks show from Sherdley Park, the annual display has been showcased at the Totally Wicked Stadium since 2022.

With thousands of people packing into the stadium for a dazzling show of fireworks, lights, and live entertainment, the Saints and council run event will return over two nights this weekend, on Friday, November 1 and Saturday, November 2.
