Thousands turned up to enjoy the event, which helped raise funds for the school’s new kitchen classroom and sports turf development.
It was cancelled for three years straight until it returned last year, when 2500-3000 attended.
The gates did not officially open until 6.30pm, but many arrived earlier to ensure they got a good park.
Food trucks were busy serving chips, nachos and sausages for dinner.
A helicopter flew in and out of the domain throughout the night taking passengers for a quick tour around the airspace above the town.
Children burnt off their energy by playing on the selection of inflatable entertainment, which included a sumo fighting ring, gladiator duels and a wipe-out course.
Among those in the sumo ring was Toby Adams, who came to the fireworks for his 10th birthday.
He celebrated the occasion by losing 0-3 to his older brother.
Weston School pupils showed off their kapa haka, the younger pupils performing with poi and the older ones doing a haka.
The excitement among the younger crowd climaxed at 7.20pm as they turned their attention to the lolly scramble.
Among the candy lovers was Lockhart Easton (11), who left the crowd with ‘‘at least’’ two handfuls of sweets.
Light-up paraphernalia became increasingly popular as it got dark, leaving little visible across the field aside from waving rainbow wands.
The crowd settled down and picked their spots for the main event, which adorned the night sky at 9.15pm.
The audience was teased with a few smaller fireworks before car alarms were set off by a huge thunderous boom.
For almost 10 minutes the sky was aglow and the air filled with sizzles and echoing blasts.
No fireworks night would be complete without the traffic jam as everybody tried to leave at once after the event.
