Free fireworks displays will return to Geelong Waterfront this New Year’s Eve, as the City of Greater Geelong helps the local community to say goodbye to 2021 with a bang.
Mayor Stephanie Asher said the City has worked hard to make sure the free community event can go ahead during the vital holiday season.
“We’re thrilled to be able to host our free fireworks display and help the community kick-off the New Year on a positive note,” Cr Asher said.
“We know that similar events had to be cancelled in Lorne so we wanted to make sure we could offer entertainment not just for Geelong, but for the entire Surf Coast and Bellarine region.”
The event includes an early 9.30pm fireworks display for children and families and the traditional midnight event. Both displays will run for eight minutes.
The fireworks will be safely discharged from a barge on Corio Bay, so anyone with a view of the bay and city skyline will be able to enjoy the display.
Pet owners are urged to keep their pets safe on New Year’s Eve.
