Ramsgate beach is being re-shaped with a JCB this week as a huge mound is created to allow fire performers from HeartBurn to present a show at Saturday’s Firefly Festival.

Organisers say it's the last outdoor firework event of the summer season and should not be missed.

From noon there will be children’s workshops and bands playing down by the Pavilion, and storytelling, face painting, a magic show from Sam Beedle, – plus a craft market with hog roast.

At 8pm performers will gather and a cluster of brilliant firefly lanterns will process to the beach -- accompanied by 3 Stick Drummers -- where the fiery performance will take place shortly before the 9pm firework display, which will be accompanied by specially composed music.

The bands performing are the Richard Rozze Band, Flamexicano, 3 Sticks Drummers, and Hullabaloo. Billy Chong’s Blues Band will close the evening after the fireworks.
