New Year’s Eve is a highlight of the Perth calendar. Some of the most popular countdown events take place at Scarborough Beach Bar and Gloucester Park in East Perth. Spectacular fireworks over the Swan River and Rottnest Island on December 31 and an array of NYE parties across the city make the people of Perth spoilt for choice.
SNACK Festival
SNACK Festival has become an NYE tradition in Perth and one of the best countdown events in Western Australia. The massive musical event, which is held at Claremont Showgrounds, features an awesome lineup of over 40 DJs on 9 stages and plenty of surprises, like a snow park, a foam party, a silent disco, karaoke village, and Bush Doof UV Paint Party. The festival attracts about 30,000 attendees annually.
NYE cruises
New Year's Eve Cruise is a superb way to say goodbye to 2020. Captain Cook Cruises runs an 18+ Swan River journey with a buffet dinner and midnight fireworks over the Perth skyline. Drinks and DJ music will surely add some twist to the night! Pirate Ship Mandurah welcomes on board the crew of young and old to sail the high seas. The Pirate adventure takes them on a Christmas Lights Tour that culminates with the 9 pm fireworks. Those who don't enjoy partying with strangers can hire a private charter with Exclusive Charters or any other company. Entertainment, food, and drinks can be arranged upon request; thus, prices depend on the final deal.
