St Patricks Day - Saturday 17th March - Trafalgar Sq or thereabouts - not sure about a firework display.
Meltdown Festival - June (dates not released yet) at the South Bank Centre/Queen Elizabeth Hall near waterloo - last year they had 60`s artists, ray davies, monty python, punk etc
Queens Diamond Jubilee Celebrations - Saturday 2nd June to Tuesday 5th June - The River Thames will see the largest flotilla of boats/water craft since King Charles II - this should be on Sunday 3rd June, the firework display has yet to be planned, but logic would suggest this should be on the 5th June (maybe Buckingham Palace again).
