New Year Fireworks

Perhaps somewhat unusually for such a large city, and such an important point in the state, there doesn't appear to be a central, publically funded fireworks display for new years eve 2023-2024. I'm more than happy to be corrected on this point however, so if you know differently, or even just where the best place to head for pyrotechnics fans happen to be then please let us know.

One thing you will find however, is that many of the local bars, hotels and restaurants that hold their own new year parties do manage to incorporate fireworks into their festivities, so don't forget to check out the rest of the party listings to see where your best options may be.

What this means, is that the sky will be lit up come midnight, so anywhere you can find a decent vantage point with a view over the city you will be sure to see some fireworks.

Berkley Riverfront Park looks like a decent option, with wide open spaces combined with clear views over the city
