Revellers will welcome in 2026 with two spectacular New Year’s Eve fireworks displays at 9.15pm and midnight at ground level from the Poppet Head in Rosalind Park courtesy of the City of Greater Bendigo’s annual Summer in the Parks program.
Greater Bendigo Mayor Cr Thomas Prince said it’s a tradition to welcome in the new year with fireworks and Bendigo’s annual New Year’s Eve firework displays are enjoyed by many hundreds of people.
“The City is again pleased to present both firework displays and I encourage residents to gather at the QEO which is the best viewing spot to watch the fireworks and welcome in 2026,” Cr Prince said.
“While we all love fireworks, the noise they make can often frighten animals, so if you have pets please ensure they are safe and securely confined on New Year’s Eve.
“The community are also reminded that the QEO car park will be closed from 6am Wednesday December 31, until 6am Thursday January 1, to provide a safe zone around the set up for the fireworks.
“There’s plenty more outdoor fun coming in January, February and March with the Summer in the Parks program presenting a wide range of live music events and classic family movie nights, outdoor kids’ activities and come and try activities.
“It’s a great opportunity to enjoy free entertainment and activities in our beautiful parks and in the city centre, support our local businesses where you can and dine out or picnic with family and friends.”
