The Best New Year's Eve Events Happening Around Brisbane

Ring in the new year with glitter, an Italian dinner or karaoke and boozy slurpees.

Published on December 21, 2017

Yes, it's that over-hyped, over-exaggerated, over-emotional time of year again: New Year's Eve. We understand that you're hesitant to commit to anything just yet — and you're probably waiting for your friend with a pool to invite you over — but if that doesn't work out, there's plenty to do in this little ol' city of ours. Whether you want to dance the night away, play pinball in your PJs, dress in nautical attire or just eat some damn fine sweets with booze, you can do just that.
