Food vendors wanted as NYE party takes shape

Published on 17 December 2024

The upcoming New Year's Eve Party in Sturt Park is shaping up to be one of the biggest ever, prompting Council to call for more food vendors.

The event continues to grow in popularity each year, and there is a huge night of fun and entertainment lined up to usher in 2025.

DJ Rocket Rob will be playing tunes from 6.30pm before local band Tha Boiz rock the stage from 8.30pm. The music will be followed by a huge fireworks display from atop the Line Of Lode at 9.15pm.

Kids will be kept well entertained throughout the evening with rides and games including the Pirate Ship, The Cyclone, 9-hole mini golf, bungee trampolines, basketball shooting, soccer shooting, Alien Invasion shooting game, Knockem Down throwing game, and a Sensory Zone for kids to take a break from the excitement.

Outback Thai, Mexican Kitchen, Aus Kustom Gaming, and Carol’s Cakes will all be on hand to provide food and drinks, however Council's Community Development Coordinator, Rachel Merton, said more food vendors to complement the huge activity line-up would really round out the event.

"It's all coming together nicely, we just need a few more food options to feed the crowd as we're expecting a big turn out again this year," said Ms Merton.

"It's free to host a food stall and both commercial and community groups are welcome provided they have appropriate insurance and food handling certifications."

Those wishing to host a food stall are encouraged to contact Ms Merton at [email protected]

Please note: Age and height restrictions are in place for some rides.  Free wristbands for unlimited use of all games and rides will be available from the event management marquee at the event. Children utilising the Sensory Zone are to be supervised at all times. Public access to the Line of Lode will not be available on New Years Eve, with traffic control in place on Federation Way.
