After the carnival procession finishes there is a unique firework display held on the High Street called "squibbing". Squibbing is something very unique to Bridgwater and is the simultaneous firing of lots of large fireworks (“squibs”).
In the region of 150 “Squibbers” are involved, typically members of the Carnival clubs. The Squibbers line the Bridgwater High Street (in a line of two wide) and all light their squibs at the same time. The effect is bright light being fired into the air along the road in one great long trail of fire.
The Squibbing Display is programmed to commence 30 minutes after the last procession entry crosses the finish line.
