Parramatta Foreshore New Year's Eve

Overview

Sydney Harbour's not the only one crankin' killer fireworks. Pack a picnic and find yourself a prime spot for the Parramatta New Year's Eve fireworks.

There are two spots to pick from: Parramatta River Foreshore (between Lennox Bridge and Parramatta Wharf) and Parade Ground, Old Kings School, O'Connell Street and Marsden Street. It's free entry and the fireworks kick off at 9pm, so it's a good option if you're off to a big ol' party or two later on.

There'll be family-friendly entertainment, amusement rides, showbags and food and drink stalls, alongside performances from hip hop pyro-circus act Dauntless Movement Crew and jet-ski pyrotechnics. Big tip: it's strictly alcohol and glass-free, so make this one a pre-event before your boozy escapades later.
