NEW YEARS EVE GOES AHEAD WITHOUT MAJOR EVENTS

Newcastle’s New Year’s eve foreshore fireworks and concert may not be going ahead this year due to the pandemic, but Newcastle Council has announced several events in their place.

There’ll be food markets and entertainment at Lambton Park and Richley Reserve, as well as pool parties at the city’s swimming centres on New Year’s Day.

“Obviously things have changed a bit this year with COVID-19, and we’re all trying to adapt, and really challenge ourselves to create new, and really exciting experiences for the community.” – Bliss Cavanagh, Artist

Council says if all goes well, the events may become a New Year’s tradition.
