City of Melbourne’s New Year’s Eve celebrations return in 2022 with city-wide rooftop fireworks and free Celebration Zones (no bookings required).

There are only a few events that are celebrated worldwide, with New Year’s being celebrated in every corner of the earth. Whether it’s the fireworks on the Sydney Harbour Bridge or the Ball Drop at Times Square, New Year’s Eve is always celebrated in extravagant style.

In Melbourne, fireworks are just the beginning of an unmissable New Year’s Eve celebration in the city, with an array of music, dining and dance events happening throughout the day and night.

New Year’s Eve in Melbourne is one of the most anticipated celebrations of the year. As it is summertime in Melbourne and most people are able to enjoy the public holiday the next day, many flocks to the city for this massive celebration.

Coming into the city for New Year’s Eve? Plan and visit one of the popular free and un-ticketed Celebration Zones at Docklands, Flagstaff Gardens, Treasury Gardens and Kings Domain.

Featuring family-friendly entertainment including huge light installations, delicious food trucks, live performances and music as well as early-evening and midnight fireworks, the Celebration Zones are the best place to ring in the new year.

This year, the midnight fireworks will be launched from the city rooftops, with the best views from anywhere you can see the city skyline or from a Celebration Zone. To make the midnight fireworks extra special, the display will be set to an eight-minute soundtrack, curated by Melbourne producer DJ Mike Katz, aka Harvey Sutherland

On NYE, all train services will run to a normal weekday timetable with additional services after midnight. Southern Cross and Flinders Street stations will be open all night. Flagstaff, Melbourne Central and Parliament stations will be open until 2am. On Jan 1st, trains will run on a public holiday timetable with a night network running.
