Gather loved ones to farewell 2024 and welcome in the new year with a family-friendly celebration in Mooloolaba.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said Council was hosting a free community event from 5pm to 10pm along Mooloolaba Esplanade.
“You’ll find a range of family-friendly festivities, leading up to the much-anticipated 8.30pm fireworks display,” Mayor Natoli said.
“The Esplanade will come alive with roving entertainment and face painting for the kids, food trucks and markets, and getting there will be a breeze with a range of active and public transport options.
“As usual, community safety is our priority, so to ensure everyone has an enjoyable evening, this is strictly an alcohol, drug and glass-free event.
“Queensland Police will be on site and event partners will be on deck to make this an enjoyable celebration for everyone.
“We’re expecting more than 30,000 people will celebrate New Year’s Eve in Mooloolaba this year, so we encourage attendees to use active and public transport.
“If you’d prefer to escape the crowds, and still want to enjoy the fireworks, you’re in luck.
“Fireworks will be bigger this year, meaning you’ll see them from Cotton Tree in the north to La Balsa in the south.
“You’ll also find fireworks displays at Coolum and Caloundra at 8.30pm as well as a range of local events across the region, funded through Council’s Festive and Commemorative Events grants program.”
