Memorial Park at The Entrance is the place to be this New Year’s Eve with free activities, an array of food trucks, and a spectacular fireworks display over the water.
Award winning Australian band, Pseudo Echo, will also headline the program with a special performance, live on stage, for the community to enjoy. Central Coast Council Unit Manager, Community Partnerships, Glenn Cannard, invites locals and visitors to celebrate the last sunset of 2018 with family and friends along the waterfront. “It is hard to believe that 2018 is coming to an end, but we are delighted to host this special event and bring our community together to celebrate our achievements over the past year,” Cannard said.
“Memorial Park will be buzzing with a variety of entertainment, free craft activities, live music and a ‘Food Alley’ featuring an array of food choices. “The festivities will conclude with the not-to-be-missed 9pm fireworks display over water. “If you live on the Coast or are visiting the area, join us at The Entrance from 6pm on December 31, for a spectacular funfilled evening to bring in the New Year,” he added.
