A variety of cultural performances have been added to Tauranga City Council’s New Year’s Eve community celebrations taking place across the city.

Grab your whānau, a picnic blanket and your dancing shoes and head to one of five community New Year’s Eve celebrations taking place across Tauranga on Saturday, 31 December.

Summer is whānau time. Bright, hot days and long, balmy nights. Visitors from out of town, friends from around the corner. Time to create some new memories.

Tauranga City Council has made the difficult decision to cancel New Year’s Eve community celebrations and fireworks displays this year due to the changing COVID-19 environment.
