New Year's Celebrations Come to Rainbow Beach

On Friday, 31 December, celebrate New Year’s Eve with your family and friends at Rainbow Beach.

This year’s celebration will include an epic fireworks display on the beach in front of the Rainbow Beach Surf Club which will start at the family-friendly time of 9pm.

Gympie Regional Council Mayor Glen Hartwig says this year’s celebrations will be the perfect way to see in the new year and bring an end to what has been another difficult year for so many residents.

“Without question, 2021 has been another challenging year, with COVID-19 restrictions having such a tremendous impact on residents and businesses in Australia and around the world.

With the new Queensland Health restrictions being updated recently, I am pleased to say that these changes will not affect our ability to celebrate New Year’s Eve this year at Rainbow Beach, with outdoor community events allowed.

There were plans to hold this event at Rainbow Beach last year, however as we have seen even the best laid plans are subject to change without notice.

We are looking at sharing this event across all of the regional areas in the years to come and I believe having it at Rainbow Beach this year will allow residents and tourists to relax on the beach, kick their feet up and watch the fireworks with the ones they love,” he said.

The event is proudly brought to you by Gympie Regional Council.
