If you’re spending New Year’s Eve in Sunraysia, you’ve picked the right place. The Murray River sets the scene, the evenings are made for being outdoors, and there’s enough happening across the region to suit everyone. From families chasing early fireworks to adults looking for a proper “dress up and make a night of it” experience.
The weather is lining up nicely too, Mildura’s forecast for New Years Eve is sunny, breezy and not as hot, with a top around 32°C and a much cooler night.
The main event: Nowingi Place fireworks + family fun
Mildura’s big community celebration returns to Nowingi Place, with the action starting from 6pm and rolling right through to midnight.
Fireworks are set for:
- 9:30pm (perfect for families)
- Midnight (the full countdown moment)
Expect food and dessert trucks, plenty of entertainment, and that classic New Year’s energy where everyone’s out enjoying the warm night air together.
Want something different? PB Mundoo’s NYE cruise
If you’d rather celebrate on the river, there’s a special PB Mundoo New Year’s Eve Cruise listed on
Events Mildura — and it’s made for adults who want dinner, entertainment, and the Murray drifting by while the year ticks over.
What’s on:
- Adult-only
- $150 per person
- Boarding 7:30pm, depart 8:00pm, return 12:15am
- Carvery buffet meal + dessert selection

It’s the kind of night where you can skip the running around: step aboard, settle in, eat well, laugh a lot, and welcome the New Year with the river right beside you.

Dinner first: Sunraysia’s restaurants make NYE easy
Of course, New Year’s Eve is also the perfect excuse to back our local hospitality. Whether you’re chasing a relaxed early dinner before fireworks, a long “let’s make a night of it” meal, or cocktails and share plates, our restaurant scene shines this time of year.
Local tip: book ahead — especially if you want that sweet spot of an early sitting, then a stroll by the river, then fireworks.
Finish the night under the stars: camp the Murray
If you’re up for something a bit more old-school Sunraysia, swap crowds for camp chairs and head for a
A favourite local option is Kings Billabong / Psyche Bend, where dispersed bush camping can put you right near the Murray — the kind of place you can sit back, listen to the water, and let the New Year arrive quietly.
However you do it — Nowingi fireworks, PB Mundoo’s NYE cruise, a cracking local dinner, or a night camped along the Murray — this is one of those Sunraysia nights that reminds you why we love living (and holidaying) here.
