Canberra’s iconic New Year’s Eve fireworks have been cancelled for the second year in a row because of disasters, but this year Canberrans will be able to welcome in the new year across three nights in the city.
New Year’s Eve across the City will create a celebratory atmosphere at a number of popular locations for three nights between 29 and 31 December including Northbourne Avenue in the City, Lonsdale Street in Braddon, Lathlain Street in Belconnen, Anketell Street in Tuggeranong, Bradley Street in Woden and Hibberson Street in Gungahlin.
Local performers and musicians will provide street entertainment between 5:30 pm and 9:30 pm each night while festive light displays and food will add to the atmosphere.
Light shows will also illuminate iconic Canberran attractions like Telstra Tower, Questacon, the Royal Australian Mint, the Belconnen Arts Centre, Canberra Times Fountain and the National Carillion from 9:00 pm to midnight each night.
Partygoers and families are being encouraged to support local businesses and book ahead so they don’t miss out on their favourite restaurants to see out 2020.
