Say farewell to 2024 and celebrate the New Year in style.
Internationally-acclaimed Australian band The Cat Empire will be headlining our celebration on the Rockingham Foreshore with their unique sounds, supported by Big Horn Productions and local acts.
There will be plenty for the whole family to enjoy, including:
- two fireworks displays at 9pm and midnight, with The Cat Empire performing in between
- children’s activities
- roaming entertainment
- amusement rides
- a glitter station and face painting
- a low-sensory chill-out zone with tactile items and noise-cancelling headphones
- and a variety of food vendors to choose from.
This is a free entry, non-ticketed event, supported by Lotterywest.
