On Friday 22nd June 2018 the exhibition programme and venues along the walking trails will open to visitors for the first time under the headline theme 'Get North'. Between noon-2pm (specific timing tbc) a 1-2 minute burst of colourful daytime pyrotechnics will be launched from a working boat on the River Tyne signalling the opening of the exhibition at a single moment. From approximately 6pm, a second 1-2 minute burst of daytime pyrotechnics, also from a working boat on the river, will announce the start of the evening event. Northern street artists and strolling bands will entertain the gathering crowds, drawing visitors down to the Quayside to experience a theatrical presentation of Water Sculptures, one of the signature pieces for GEOTN. The audience for the quayside based activity is likely to be in the region of 30,000. It is planned to punctuate the day with a range of pyrotechnics, including a high impact, five-minute finale at approximately 11pm.
