Celebrate the end of 2015 with a host of family fun at South Bank. Enjoy your afternoon and evening with free family movies in the Cultural Forecourt while you wait for the two fantastic fireworks displays: one at 8:30 pm for younger party-goers and another at midnight for late-night revellers.

Take advantage of food vendors trucks and live City Sounds music stages throughout the Parklands all evening, or snap a family photo with friends at the BRISBANE sign for your chance to win the ultimate start to 2016! The prize includes one night’s accommodation for up to four people at Mantra South Bank, a family pass to Medieval Power: Symbols & Splendour at Queensland Museum and a $300 dining gift voucher. Check out the competition page for entry details.

Please note that to ensure a safe event, the following items are prohibited at South Bank on New Year’s Eve: alcohol, glass, pets, bikes, scooters, metal cutlery, and drink bottles with broken seals (including bottles of water or soft drink). If you are unsure about whether to bring an item, please email your query to [email protected].

So make sure you pack a picnic blanket and your camera to see in the New Year with a bang at South Bank Parklands!
