Usher in the new year with a kaleidoscope of colour at the Lord Mayor’s Brisbane New Year’s Eve Fireworks on December 31.

Held at South Bank Parklands, there will be two free fireworks shows: 7.45pm and 12pm.

The early fireworks display is for families, while the midnight event caters to late-night revellers wanting to welcome the New Year in style.

The best viewing locations in South Bank are at Clem Jones Promenade, Cultural Forecourt, Riverside Green and River Quay.

South Bank Parklands retailers will be open during the day with takeaway food also available from pop-up food and beverage vendors on the Cultural Forecourt. You are also welcome to bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages into the parklands.

Brisbane New Year’s Eve Fireworks: Getting There

Event safety
South Bank Parklands will be an alcohol-free site on the day, except for those dining in a restaurant or licensed premises, which abides by the usual liquor licensing rules. Prohibited items include metal cutlery and other sharp items, drink bottles and unsealed lids (including bottles of water or soft drink), scooters, bikes, pets, glass, marquees and any large portable structures.

Getting there
Public transport is the best way to travel to South Bank Parklands for the fireworks. Use Translink’s Journey Planner to plan ahead.

Planned road closures
There will also be road closures in and around the South Bank Parklands precinct, South Brisbane and Brisbane City. These are subject to change if required to maintain event safety. Road closure information will be shared on Council’s newsroom once it has been finalised.

Soundtrack
If you’re watching the fireworks offsite from South Bank, make sure you enhance your experience by downloading the free Cinewav app before December 31. It allows you to play the official fireworks soundtrack, in real time. Please note that there is no requirement to have the app at South Bank, as the soundtrack will be played via speakers on ground.
