Ring in 2026 with one of Sydney’s most iconic views at Dudley Page Reserve, Dover Heights. Waverley Council invites families, friends, and neighbours to gather for an unforgettable night under the stars, with panoramic views of the world-famous Sydney Harbour fireworks.
This relaxed, family-friendly event offers something for everyone. Kids will love the face painting, roving magicians, giant lawn games, live art, and the always-popular photo booth. Adults can kick back with food from local stalls and drinks from the licensed bar, while everyone enjoys tunes from a live DJ. Bring a picnic rug, settle on the grass, and soak up the festive atmosphere at one of Sydney’s best vantage points.
