This New Year's Eve, make your way to Lake Burley Griffin for an evening of great food, music, and fireworks. With three celebration hubs to choose from, you can relax with a picnic and soak in the views or dive into the tunes provided by local DJs.
Bring a picnic blanket and some goodies or enjoy the variety of local food vendors who'll be serving up a range of bites throughout the evening. As you wait for the sky to light up with 9pm and midnight fireworks, DJs will fill the air with music as we mark the start of 2027!
Kicking off at 6pm, it's a welcoming, free family-friendly event where everyone can find their place by the lake and celebrate in their own way.
