The three-time Olympic archer from Kingswood will be special guest at King George V Playing Fields to set off the spectacular display which is this year raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Care, Children in Need and various local causes.
Mr Godfrey, 36, has been competing in International Archery for more than ten years, representing Great Britain.
He finished fourth in this year's Summer Olympics with an overall score of 680 and is now in training again for the 2016 games in Rio De Janeiro.
The display organised by the Great Western Round Table is expected to draw crowds of thousands and organiser Andrew Simmonds thinks it will be the best yet.
He said: "It's fantastic news that Larry Godfrey has agreed to push the button at our fireworks display. He's a local hero and an inspiration; I know the kids will love seeing him in his Olympic tracksuit after the buzz of the Olympics in the summer.
"We also have a great line-up of talent on the live music stage and children's entertainment throughout the night. It's a huge event so we'd love people to come along and support a local organisation raising funds for local causes."
The Downend Fireworks show is in its 41st year and has become a local institution.
Live music will come from local bands Ant Noel & the Peabody Drakes, Peter & the Harmonics, Polly & the Billet Doux and the Filton Royal Mail Choir. A children's display, sponsored by Mama Bears Day Nursery, will take place at 6.30pm and will be attended by Pudsey Bear.
The display is being performed by Bristol-based company Skyburst which has sourced the materials especially from China.

Tickets on the gate cost �5 for adults and �3 for children.
