There’s no better way to ring in the New Year than with a fireworks display and we have the complete guide to where to get the best vantage points across the Northern Beaches. 

Northern Beaches Council and local businesses are hosting several free family-friendly sites for the community to enjoy the festivities - some with great water views.

Fireworks will light up the night skies for approximately 10-12 minutes at the following locations:

• Dee Why – 9pm, Ted Jackson Reserve, Dee Why Beach 
• Frenchs Forest – 9pm, Lionel Watts Reserve, Blackbutts Road
• Manly – 9pm, East & West Esplanade, Manly Cove
• Bayview - 9pm and midnight, Winnererremy Bay, Mona St, Mona Vale

Families are encouraged to bring your own picnic or purchase takeaway from one of the many local restaurants and enjoy the fireworks spectacular!

For the safety of the public, there will be road closures in place around Dee Why and Manly. Please be mindful of the road closures when planning your journey and get public transport where possible.

Please be aware there are alcohol prohibited areas and alcohol free zones in place at all locations. There is no glass permitted at Lionel Watts Reserve.

This event is subject to weather conditions. For updates on the day follow @beachescouncil on Facebook and Instagram.

Council will be offsetting the emissions from the NYE fireworks displays.

Note: We recommend that you keep pets indoors during the fireworks.
