The event saw bonfire societies from across Sussex taking part in a long torch-lit procession along the seafront and through the streets of the Old Town.
They were joined by local drumming groups and a huge Guy.
The highlight of the evening saw the lighting of a huge bonfire on the beach opposite Pelham Place, which was followed by a spectacular fireworks display.
Money collected on the night raises vital funds for local charities and good causes.
The local bonfire season continues with Ewhurst and Staplecross on Saturday October 25; Ninfield on Saturday November 1; Battle on Saturday November 8; Rye on Saturday November 15 and Robertsbridge on Saturday November 22.
