A TOWN is marking the millennium with a real bang.
A fireworks display is planned as a spectacular finale to a family fun day, organised by Middlesbrough Borough Council, in the town's Albert Park on Friday.
The theme of the celebration is earth, wind and fire.
There will be arts workshops, music, children's entertainers, a parade, a funfair and a drum bus where youngsters can try their drumming and percussion skills.
The parade will involve children who have been taking part in the council's playschemes during the school holidays.
They will first parade through the Hill Street and Cleveland shopping centres, before being bussed to Albert Park.
The synchronised fireworks display will feature high and low level fireworks, water fountains, music and lighting effects
