Notice details

Welcome 2018 with a night of family-friendly events and fireworks. Tauranga’s residents and visitors are invited to celebrate the start of the New Year with families and friends at Council’s community celebrations.

The small-scale youth event planned for Queen Elizabeth Youth Centre on New Year’s Eve has been cancelled due to low ticket sales.

Tauranga City Council and Western Bay of Plenty Police are appealing to Tauranga’s residents and visitors to put their own and their families’ and friends’ safety first while celebrating New Year’s Eve in Tauranga and especially at Mount Maunganui.

Tauranga kicked off the new year with a fantastic fireworks display that lit up the sky at midnight and welcomed the new year for one of New Zealand’s most popular summer holiday destinations.

One of Tauranga’s biggest music festivals will be held over Auckland Anniversary Weekend at Tauranga Domain.
