Perth New Years Eve 2024

Things to do on new years eve in Perth, Western Australia. Top fireworks, river cruises, parties and hotels.

With Fireworks, outdoor concerts and celebrations all the family can enjoy, Perth is the perfect place to celebrate New Years Eve. There are several firework displays taking place across the region and of course the usual range of top NYE parties and events in the city's many top bars, hotels and restaurants.

The remote nature of Perth's location in Western Australia (fun trivia fact: it's the most geographically isolated city anywhere in the world) means that it is very much the focal point for the state's new year celebrations, and also for the Australia Day party that follows shortly afterwards, when the Perth Skyworks fireworks display is one of the largest in the country.

New Years Eve Fireworks

Perth has lots of firework displays, with the best vantage points being Yagan Square, Perth Cultural Centre Urban Orchard, Northbridge Piazza and William Street.

At Elizabeth Quay, you'll find a fun fair event with food trucks, roving entertainers and the BHP water park with a 8pm countdown with fireworks.

There's the magnificient display at 8pm on Rottnest Island, it is a free family event but you will need to register.

Crown Metropol holds 2 fabulous displays from the Swan River at Burswood Park, one around 9pm and the main fireworks at midnight.

Gloucester Park also has fireworks at midnight.

Elsewhere, The Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) publishes annually a schedule of approved fireworks events in the area - you can find the list for this year here:

New Year's Eve at Uluru

This might well be my new favourite thing and is going on my bucket list right now. Seeing in the New Year at the iconic Uluru, watching the sun set, it's really quite magical. With a private charter plane flying from Perth directly to Ayers Rock airport for a weekend you'll never forget. You can book into the Sounds of Silence New Years Eve Dinner to make it even more of a special event. Full detail and book here.

New Years Eve River Cruises

Seeing in the new year on the water is another popular option, where you can get away from the crowds while still enjoying a front row view of the fireworks.

There are many companies offering cruises both on the harbour and Swan River. Captain Cook cruises have several good options to choose from, departing both from Perth and nearby Fremantle.

New Year on Rottnest Island

Rottnest Island is a glorious little corner of paradise all of its own, this car-free island offering a favourite escape from the buzzing city streets of Perth, and on new years eve they hold a party all of their own.

This includes a fireworks display at 9pm, and you can also expect to see a silent disco and live performances. This is a free event once you're on the island, and is very much family friendly, so don't be afraid to take the kids over. You can always check with the venue for up to date information here

New Years Eve Hotels

There is no shortage of hotel accommodation in Perth, with many of the hotels also hosting new years eve parties and events of their own. Top places to check out include The Vines Resort and The Guildford Hotel, both of which are holding spectacular new years eve events this year.

It will be very busy indeed at new year though, so make your reservations as soon as you can - you can check availability and book these and all of the most popular Perth NYE hotels here.

NYE Restaurants

For eating out you'll be spoiled for choice in Perth, with a huge range of restaurants as well as bars offering food. Seafood is a particular speciality given the maritime setting but there's something for most tastes - there's C Restaurant, Wildflower, Garum Perth and Balthazar are all very popular too. Check out all the local restaurants here.

NYE Live Stream

There are a few webcam streams offering city skyline views, and also some in the surrounding popular beach areas, so there's a pretty good chance of getting some live fireworks views:
