Tramore Amusement and Leisure Park is set to host its annual Monster Fireworks extravaganza.

On Saturday, August 22 at 9:45pm, the annual fireworks show will take place marking a move towards the end of the season.

The park continues to be open everyday from 12noon.

Park Manager, Michael Garland joined Ollie and Dymphna on air on Tuesday morning.

Reflecting on the annual tradition, he said there is no sponsorship involved or grants available and the cost of the fireworks, approximately €25,000 is paid for by the park itself.

'What initially began as a way of us saying thank you to everyone for their support over the season has now evolved into an event in the calendar marking the end of the season,' said Michael.

The summer season was filled with high temperatures which means the beaches were filled with tourists and families.

While this was great news for footfall in the park and in the town, Michael said there needs to be more of an offering for visitors to keep them in the region when they visit for the day.

His comments referred to toilet facilities, accommodation options, and adequate bins in the region.
