New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, and fireworks are back on. There are several places in Lane Cove, Longueville and Greenwich to see the fireworks.
NYE Music
Before the Fireworks Plastic Soul will be playing in The Canopy from 7.00 pm to 9.00 pm.
Where to See the Fireworks on New Year’s Eve
Kenneth Street Longueville
The best place to see the fireworks is in Longueville.
This year the theme is ‘One Night: Many Ways to Celebrate”, with artists 18YOMAN and Nooky to score an original music track for the 9 pm show and Brisbane-based group The Sweats curating the music for the midnight display.
The midnight fireworks display will mark the close of 2023 and celebrate the start of 2024. The complete program and other information are here if you want to view the fireworks closer to the CBD.
Many families go to the 9 pm fireworks and then go home. Any side street off Kenneth Street in Longueville facing the harbour is ideal.
However, parking in Lane Cove and walking to Longueville is highly recommended. If you drive into Longueville, you will spend at least an hour after the fireworks trying to leave Longueville.
Other people like to see the fireworks from St Michael’s Church.
Manns Point Greenwich
Manns Point Greenwich is also highly rated as a place to watch the NYE fireworks. You will need to be at Manns Point before the RMS road closures are in effect.

They offer glasses and free delivery, and you can return any alcohol you do not use (that has not been on ice and the labels are legible).
