WOLLONGONG’S BIGGEST NYE STREET PARTY IS BACK

This New Year’s Eve, The Illawarra is shutting down Market Street and filling it with more than 1,000 people for one huge night under the stars.

  • Midnight fireworks
  • Market Street Silent Disco with three DJ channels
  • Loud & Live Courtyard Stage
  • Multiple bars and priority VIP service
  • Nine hours of New Year’s Eve entertainment

DO NYE LIKE A VIP

New Year’s Eve is not the night to waste standing in queues or worrying about getting back into the venue.

Your strictly limited VIP ticket includes:

  • Express entry at your selected arrival time
  • Pass-out privileges throughout the event
  • Silent Disco headphone hire included
  • Priority service at the Market Street bar
  • More time celebrating and less time queuing

VIP tickets are strictly limited. Once the allocation is sold out, no additional VIP tickets will be released.

Secure your ticket early, choose your arrival time and enjoy the biggest night of the year without the usual New Year’s Eve headaches.
