An estimated 15,000 people from within and outside the Kiama LGA made their way to the harbour on New Year's Eve to witness one of the town’s biggest New Years Eve Sky Shows to date.

Fireworks kicked off at 9pm, with families hanging around town to enjoy the rest of the festivities including the Family Carnival at the Old School Flat, and food from local eateries such as Miss Arda, Hungry Monkey, Moist N Glazed, Kiama Sweet Co. and Saltwater.

What could be the biggest Kiama New Year’s Eve Sky Shows is also the most environmentally friendly. Kiama Council teamed up with Fireworks Australia to use fireworks made from rice straw and calcite materials rather than traditional cardboard, making it more biodegradable and minimising waste. The new fireworks also use 30 per cent less black lift powder.
