1. Queen’s Park Fireworks

Toowoomba Regional Council will once again put on a spectacular fireworks for families in their well-known tradition of welcoming in the New Year.

“As a result of the new vaccination mandates and in order to keep our New Year’s Eve celebrations as inclusive as possible, there will be no prior entertainment, kids games or amusement rides this year,” TRC Environment and Community Committee chair Councillor James O’Shea said.

“To ensure everyone can be Covid safe and gets to be part of this tradition, we ask people to socially distance if standing or picnicking in the park.

“Alternatively, if you wish to stay in your car to watch the fireworks, please arrive early to secure a designated park.”

Mr O’Shea has encouraged families to support local eateries and have dinner before going to Queen’s Park.

The fireworks will light up the sky at 8.15pm.
