With the rain expected to clear up by tomorrow afternoon, the New Year’s Eve plans of thousands of locals and tourists will focus on the NYE Sky Show at Kiama Harbour. 15,000 attending the event in 2019.

Councillor Matt Brown says, "Importantly, it is an easy-to-access alternative to the spectacular but heavilycrowded Sydney fireworks."

Not only does it remain as one of the largest fireworks displays in NSW, there’s even more than usual organised for this year, with the help of State Government funding.

Wave FM’s breakfast hosts Jade and Damien will MC the night, and there will be cultural dances, roving performances, a live DJ, Wave FM’s street fleet, lawn games and a kids carnival, all before the sky lights up.

The Eat St food market has been relocated to Terralong St, between Manning St and the railway bridge, as the first Summer Streets initiative.

Local favourites Hungry Monkey, Saltwater and Miss Arda will be amongst the Eat St options.

According to Council’s Tourism and Event Manager Sally Bursell, there has been a lot of excitement in the planning of the show after a two year hiatus.

"Gather your nearest and dearest and enjoy some free, family friendly entertainment as we see out 2022," she says.
