New Year's Eve Napier

We are on the countdown to 2021, which we are sure you are all looking forward to! And the best place to see in the New Year is going to be at the Soundshell, on Napier’s Marine Parade.

This year we are “keeping it local” with headline act Naked Gun featuring special guests Margot Pierard & Anton Wuts. With over 30 years’ experience in the business and 1000’s of gigs, Naked Gun will bring you into full celebration mode with some old school classics and latest chart-topping hits.

We'll be kicking things off from 7 pm with local singer-songwriter Izzy Lorch, followed by some of Hawkes Bay’s finest musicians who have come together to create The Tramps. And to show you how to get moving we will have two special performances from Rezpect Dance crew.

Napier will be putting on the full show for you with food trucks, and two massive fireworks displays, one at 9:45pm, and one at midnight. As tradition will have it, the Veronica Bell is being rung by Napier’s Mayor Kirsten Wise, and then the countdown begins to welcome 2021 and all it has to offer. So get your friends and family together for what will be an unforgettable night.

This event is proudly presented by Napier City Council, Smokefree and Littlestone. Patrons are reminded there is a liquor ban in place in the CBD, and no fires are to be lit on the beach. The event will go ahead, rain or shine unless it is deemed unsafe due to weather conditions.
