The Royal Adelaide Show in 2025 will feature a new kind of nighttime fireworks experience called the Southern Lights Spectacular. It is a 30-minute nightly show that combines drones, pyrotechnics, lasers, and special effects into a narrative-driven celebration of South Australian stories. This is an upgrade from the usual 10-minute fireworks finale and will close each evening of the show with varying start times between 7:45 pm and 8:45 pm depending on the date. The show runs from August 30 to September 7, 2025, at the Adelaide Showground in Wayville. So in summary, there will still be fireworks at the Royal Adelaide Show 2025, but integrated into an immersive light and drone spectacle rather than a traditional fireworks display.
