If you're on
holidays in the Nelson Bay region, or a local looking for something to do, there are a number of New Year's Eve events happening across the bay. Although the Nelson Bay annual fireworks have been cancelled this year, there are still a number of COVID-safe events that you can go to - whether you're young, young at heart or have a family of young ones!
After spending the day enjoying the
crystal-clear waters of Port Stephens, why not spend the evening overlooking the water (or get out on the water!) at one of these sparkling events. Book in early as each event has restricted numbers.
Have a Happy New Year's Eve in the bay!
