Revellers can sing along to a nostalgic compilation of number one favourites including ‘One Summer’ and ‘As the Days Go By’ along with well-known classic ‘The Horses’.

The evening will continue to excite with a vibrant performance by the Australian Pink Tribute Show. The ‘Raise Your Glass’ act will have party goers dancing into the evening and through to the New Year countdown.

Well-known local performers Mel Gray Duo and Jony Levy will also entertain throughout along with world party rocker and international DJ Charly Templar, sure to keep the celebrations alive well into the night. Amy Hetherington will host the evening as the master of ceremonies with support cameos by DJ Rica G.

Kids can start the celebrations early with free children’s entertainment from 5pm including a Nickelodeon SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom Beach Party, roving face glitter artists and balloon twisters.

At both 9pm and midnight the skies will ignite with two ten-minute fireworks spectaculars.

Food stall holders will operate for the evening with a delicious selection of offerings including loaded spuds, cinnamon churros, natural smoothies, gourmet hotdogs, sticky peanut satays and more. Bring along your picnic spread, hampers and chairs and nestle in for the evening. Esky’s are welcome, but no glass or alcohol is permitted. Restaurants will also be taking reservations with front row seats of the festivities.

There’ll be undercover marquees available in the case that it does rain. Be sure to a pack a poncho – the show will certainly go on!
