New Year’s Eve Fireworks @ South Bank

Brisbane is getting ready for another huge New Year’s Eve at South Bank!

The Parklands will come alive with fireworks set to music, plenty of food options, family-friendly spaces and safety measures to help everyone enjoy the night.

The best viewing locations at South Bank include the Clem Jones Promenade, the Cultural Forecourt, Riverside Green and River Quay. Please note: The area around the Brisbane Sign at the Cultural Forecourt will be closed for event operations.

South Bank will be an alcohol-free zone (except within licensed venues), with bag checks and restricted items in place.

Public transport is the best way to travel to South Bank Parklands for the fireworks. Use the Journey Planner on Translink to plan ahead.

There will also be road closures in and around the South Bank Parklands precinct, South Brisbane and Brisbane City.

Swimming in any of the South Bank Lagoons is not permitted from 5pm
