Prepare for the most spectacular NYE fireworks display as Geelong says farewell to 2023 and welcome in the new year.

The most exciting celebration of the year – New Year’s Eve – will be here before we know it, and with it, the return of some truly spectacular fireworks shows guaranteed to draw the ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ from locals and tourists alike.

In some truly sensational news for the region, eyes will turn to the sky as Geelong’s free NYE fireworks displays returns to the waterfront this New Year’s Eve once again, ensuring we go out with a beautiful bang.

Keep up with the latest in local news and entertainment here.

Held annually on 31 December, the free entertainment attracts between 20,000 and 50,000 visitors to the Waterfront for the final evening of the year and is a highlight on Greater Geelong’s social calendar. Like most years, the event includes an early 9:30pm fireworks display for children and families and the traditional midnight event, with both displays running for around eight minutes.

Fireworks will be safely discharged from a barge on Corio Bay, so anyone with a view of the bay and city skyline will be able to enjoy the show!

Of course, don’t forget to keep your pets safe and secure if you’re around the area during this time.
