FREE fireworks displays will return to Geelong waterfront this New Year\u2019s Eve, as the City of Greater Geelong helps the local community to say goodbye to 2021 with a bang.<\/p>\n
Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said the city had worked hard to make sure the free community event can go ahead during the vital holiday season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be able to host our free fireworks display and help the community kick-off the New Year on a positive note,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The event includes an early 9.30pm fireworks display for children and families and the traditional midnight event.<\/p>\n
Both displays will run for eight minutes.<\/p>\n
Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan said the fireworks would be safely discharged from a barge on Corio Bay, so anyone with a view of the bay and city skyline will be able to enjoy the display.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether you want to have a gathering at home, enjoy free family entertainment at the beach, or book a table at one of our fabulous restaurants, there\u2019s something for everyone to enjoy this New Year\u2019s Eve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease stay safe, look after your friends and family, and we wish everyone in the Greater Geelong community health and happiness in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
