It’s hard to believe, but the end of the year is almost here, and we already know a lot about what to expect for the New Year’s Eve fireworks and celebrations this year. This time around, the theme is “All That Sparkles”, so you’re encouraged to wear your brightest sequins and glitter to welcome the new year. Get hyped up for a shimmering celebration, with fireworks and laser displays that will light up the city across 27 rooftops. Set to light up over six square kilometres of the city, this will be the largest New Year’s Eve rooftop laser display in the Southern Hemisphere. Put on your party hats and enjoy the midnight display from anywhere with city skyline views, or from one of four Celebration Zones in the CBD. Here’s what we know so far.
New Year’s Eve fireworks and celebrations
Ring in the New Year with a dazzling fireworks and laser display, set to an eight-minute soundtrack produced in partnership with Nova 100’s Jase & Lauren.
“We’ll be putting on a spectacular rooftop display of lasers and fireworks,” said Lord Mayor Nick Reece. “If you can see the city skyline, you’ll be mesmerised by our world-class show.”
This year, the family-friendly Celebration Zones will take place in Docklands, Flagstaff Gardens, Treasury Gardens and the Shrine. These four spots will be playing plenty of cracking tunes, as well as hosting food trucks, performances, dance workshops and more. There will also be a 9:30pm fireworks display for young families.
The Celebration Zones are free to enter, and open from 6pm to 1am. As these are family-friendly spots, all Celebration Zones are alcohol-free.
If you’re keen on heading into the city and going to an event, you’re encouraged to plan ahead and make a booking.
If you’re staying at home, you can also tune in to the official New Year’s Eve live broadcast on Chanel 9 and 9Now from 11pm.
