So grab your picnic blanket and your kid-sized party hats as we explore the best places to celebrate New Year’s Eve with kids 23/24.
Mooloolaba Beach, New Year’s Eve 23/24
From 5 pm on Mooloolaba Esplanade, you’ll find family activities, live musicians, food and market stalls. On the beach, there will be a free bungee trampoline for those under 18 and a youth stage with live DJs. If you have teens, rest assured the wonderful Red Frogs will patrol this space – the global young adults support network that provides a positive peer presence in alcohol-fuelled environments.
This is a fully fenced and secure patrolled event to ensure everyone has a great, safe and enjoyable evening. It is a drug, glass and alcohol-free event.
Firework displays are at 8:30 pm and midnight.
