New Year’s Eve Community Celebration - Pāpāmoa

Celebrate New Year’s Eve with whānau and friends at Gordon Spratt Reserve, Pāpāmoa!

Come and enjoy live music, roving entertainment, delicious food trucks, fun activities for the kids, and a local MC to host. This event is one of Tauranga City Council's five free New Year’s Eve community celebrations.

New location:
For those who have attended in the past, please note that we have a new location within Gordon Spratt Reserve this year. The event will be held next to Pāpāmoa College, near the Tsunami Vertical Evacuation Structure, due to maintenance work at our usual site (which will be fenced off). Please follow the clearly marked signs to the new site - just 350m away!

Time:
The event starts at 6pm and will finish with fireworks at 9.30pm.

Things to bring:
A picnic blanket and/or something to sit on
Feel free to bring your own kai or choose from a variety of food truck options
With the sun still strong in the afternoon, remember to slip, slop, slap, and wrap
For those with sensory sensitivities, bring headphones to limit sound
Cash or card to purchase drinks and snacks

Getting there:
Parking is available on site but is limited, so make a plan to ride-share, bus, walk, bike, or dance your way to the celebration.

Important:
These family-friendly events are alcohol and smoke-free, with temporary and permanent liquor bans in place at and around the area.
