family friendly new years eve 2022, footscray park

Ring in the New Year with City of Maribyrnong’s spectacular Fireworks in Footscray Park. Kicking off at 6.30pm, this special event draws thousands to the banks of the iconic Maribyrnong River for a night of free live entertainment and an incredible early fireworks display.

To begin the night, there will be a Welcome to Country along with a powerful performance from the Murrundaya Yepengna Dancers, directed by Amos Roach.

Then it’s the Bluey Live Interactive Experience! The Emmy® award-winning, much-loved blue heeler along with her sister, Bingo, will be part of our New Year's Eve celebrations – for real life!

This will be followed by The Bamboos, a Melbourne nine piece ensemble recognised worldwide as the masters of reinventing soul and funk with modern song writing.

Turning up the noise will be Jebediah. After forming in the 90s, they produced six albums over 23 years, winning numerous awards. Prepare yourself, as Jebediah know how to captivate their audiences with an infectious and electrifying performance.

To close the evening’s stellar stage line-up, you’ll be blown away with the magic that is Queen Forever – The Australian Queen Tribute Show. One of the most powerful and dynamic live acts in music history will be recreated on stage with such brilliance and accuracy, you’ll think you’re seeing the real thing.

Settle in for an amazing fireworks display which will illuminate the sky from 9.30pm
