Te pito o te tau New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve Celebrations are back for 2023.
Celebrate New Year’s Eve with family and friends at one of Council’s free community celebrations.

Enjoy live music, roving entertainment, food trucks, activities for the kids and a local MC to host. The events will finish with fireworks at 9.30pm, except the Greerton celebration that will finish with a laser light show.

Five community celebrations, 6pm – 9.30pm
Gordon Spratt Reserve – Pāpāmoa
The Waterfront – Tauranga City Centre
Fergusson Park – Matua (accessible/low-sensory event 5.30pm – 6pm)
Tauranga Racecourse – Greerton (laser night show instead of fireworks, as horses are on site)
Blake Park – Mount Maunganui
Matua accessible/low sensory event
For those who experience sensory sensitivities and/or have accessibility requirements, the Matua celebration will also have an earlier celebration from 5.30pm – 6pm with limited sound and crowds.
