Tonight Canberrans will ring in the new year – and the soundtrack is on the radio…. with a spectacle of fireworks at Lake Burley Griffin!

From 5:30 this afternoon, locals are invited to take a picnic or purchase food from a range of vendors at one of three hub areas.

You’re invited to celebrate New Year’s Eve along the shores of Lake Burley Griffin with a spectacular firework display at 9pm.

Pack a picnic or grab a bite to eat from some of our local food vendors from 5:30pm at one of three hub areas along the foreshore: Regatta Point, Commonwealth Place, and Rond Terrace.

Each hub will be filled with music from local DJs from 6pm, while a synchronised soundtrack broadcast on the radio  to accompany the extended fireworks display at 9pm as it launches from Central Basin and off Commonwealth Bridge. Services and amenities will be dispersed across the three hub areas including food trucks, first aid, portable toilets, and security.

Additional vantage points for the public to view the fireworks will include Black Mountain Nature Reserve, Mount Ainslie Nature Reserve, Red Hill Nature Reserve, and viewpoints in the suburbs of Acton, Civic, Barton, Campbell, Kingston, Reid, Russell, Yarralumla and beyond. These areas will not have any additional amenities, food vendors or entertainment in place by Events ACT.
