A spectacular fireworks display and bonfire at a cricket club attracted more than 2,000 visitors from across the borough.
The annual family event at East Lancs Cricket Club on Dukes Brow on Saturday night was organised by members of the Royal British Legion.
As well as fairground rides, food and drinks at the bar, the evening ended with a breathtaking firework display.
Money raised on the night went towards the Poppy Appeal and the Fire Fighters charity.
The wet weather did not put off people turning out to support the good causes and organisers managed to stave off any long queues by opening two entrances to the venue. Volunteers from the Royal British Legion worked throughout the evening marshalling crowds.
At Witton Park thousands more turned out for the large bonfire and firework display at organised by the Blackburn Round Table, Blackburn Lions, Blackburn Rotary club, and the 41 Club.
The bonfire was sponsored by Blackburn with Darwen council, Witton Park Academy, Parkinson Signs, Adhan Group Property Rentals. Local Blackburn companies supplied all the wood for the bonfire.
Money raised on the night went to Blackburn Samaritans, St Frances Scouts & Guides, St Georges Scouts & Guides, Blackburn Food Bank, Ivy Street Community Centre, Blackburn Sea Cadets, Blackburn Marine Cadets, Blackburn Youth Darts Academy, Derian House Children’s Hospice, The Burrow & Hyndburn Baby Bank and the Blackburn Youth Zone.
