There are dementia-friendly ways to experience fireworks, including low-noise displays.

The association recommends a professional event where strict fire and safety regulations are in place.

Things to watch out for during exposures are making sure your loved one is warm enough, hot drinks aren’t too hot, and having a plan B if there are too many.

An alternative to an outdoor event is to watch fireworks on TV or have a bonfire dinner.

Movies, audiobooks, and music are good activities for someone who gets upset by fireworks.
