Celebrate the start of 2026 with a bang at the City's annual FREE New Year's Day Concert and Fireworks event! 🎆✨Set against the stunning backdrop of the Canning River and overlooking the impressive City skyline, the Shelley Foreshore will come alive with an event that punches way above its weight on the 'funometer'.
As always, our New Year's Day Concert and Fireworks is a large FREE, family friendly event offering big entertainment, big performances and big smiles. So, make sure this is firmly circled on the kitchen calendar and we look forward to seeing you there!
📢Road Closures📢
Road closures are necessary to better care for the residents of Shelley, so the City will be implementing a Traffic Management Road Closure Plan which will involve the closure of selected roads from 1.30pm – 9.00pm. A map and list of the closed roads can be found on the website.
⚠️It is important that attendees avoid parking on residential verges, across driveways and on footpaths⚠️
📢Parking and shuttle bus📢
There will be free limited onsite parking and free bike racks - plus additional parking at Centenary Park with a two shuttle buses running between this park and the event site at Shelley every 10-15 minutes, with more added after the fireworks. The first shuttle bus will depart Centenary Park at 3.30pm, and the last shuttle bus will depart Shelley Foreshore at 9.00pm. However, availability is limited so we encourage people to carpool, take public transport or walk or bike ride where feasible. Please note due to large masses of pedestrian traffic this car park will not be opened until at least 20 minutes after the end of the fireworks.
