Countdown to the New Year begins!

Get ready to mark the countdown to 2019 at the Illawarra’s biggest family-friendly event, Acorn Lawyers’ New Year’s Eve.

The annual celebration at Belmore Basin is coordinated by Wollongong City Council and attracts more than 20,000 people each year. This year’s theme is circus and from 5pm on Monday 31 December there will be live music, roaming circus performers, amusement rides, food and novelty stores along the popular foreshore area.

There will also be a spectacular firework show to wrap up the event at 9pm, and provide families and event-goers time to get home before the all-important midnight hour strikes. This year we’re encouraging everyone to join us for the Greatest Harbour Sing as we perform the song This is Me from the Motion Picture ‘The Greatest Showman’.

Wollongong City Lord Mayor Councillor Gordon Bradbery AM thanked this year’s naming rights sponsor, Acorn Lawyers, and corporate sponsor, South Coast BMW, for helping make this event possible.

“Our New Year’s Eve event is a special occasion that brings together over 20,000 people to take part in the festivities,” he said. “It’s a great celebration of our City’s diversity. Join us for the countdown to the big bang at 9pm.”

“It’s going to be a busy evening with all sorts of activities and entertainment, so make sure you plan your trip into the City beforehand for a night to remember. There is information and tips on Council’s website on how to get to and from the event easily using public transport.’’

Acorn Lawyers Managing Director Ash Agarwal is excited at the opportunity to be involved with Wollongong New Year’s Eve celebrations again this year. “Wollongong City Council has worked very hard to make this year’s New Year’s Eve celebrations an extra special and memorable event. We are very proud to be a part of the celebrations and hope everyone has an enjoyable night.”
