A Very Bayside New Year: C&G’s Guide to New Year’s Eve

Local Community

Another year over – let’s ring in 2017 in style! Today, C&G have collated the best goings-on around Bayside this New Year’s Eve. From garden parties to dinner dances, there’s something you’re sure to love.

Enjoy Fireworks from the Beach

One of the easiest and most family-friendly ways to enjoy the New Year’s Eve celebrations is to gather on Bayside’s finest shores and watch the Melbourne fireworks display. Offering one of the best views in the house, Port Phillip’s city skyline panoramas allow you to enjoy Melbourne drenched in vibrant end-of-year fireworks – all with the sand between your toes and the sounds of crashing waves. Why not pitch up early at one of the nearby public BBQ spots, and settle in for an evening of celebrations at your own pace.

The Village Night Garden Party

The southside’s most famous beer garden is bringing us a New Year’s Eve night garden to ring in 2017. This ticketed event runs from 8am-1am and strikes the perfect balance between party and chill-out vibes. Your all-inclusive ticket entitles you to as much tap beer, selected spirits, wine, food and entertainment as you can handle – get in while you still can!

St Kilda Sea Baths Rooftop Party

Ever the hotspot, St Kilda beach always delivers the goods on New Year’s Eve. The Sea Baths complex is hosting New Year celebrations, complete with beachside cool and cocktails galore. Soak up city views as the sun sets, before enjoying the fireworks and live DJ tunes that’ll be spinning until the early hours. Tickets and info can be found here.

Game of Thrones Party at Robarta

St Kilda will be transformed into a Game of Thrones medieval paradise for the Robarta NYE bash! Perfect for those ‘go-all-night-ers’, this non-stop party runs from 8pm-8am. Come dressed as your favourite Lannister, Stark or a Targaryen, and get ready for a New Year you won’t forget.

Dinner Dance at Brighton Savoy

For a more traditional New Year celebration, the Brighton Savoy is laying on a ball and dinner dance. Enjoy a three-course meal, bubbles, beer and wine aplenty, and live tunes from the 60s, 70s and today. It’s the ideal way to celebrate with friends or as a couple – and of course, an excuse to put on your Sunday best.

Host it Yourself

Hey, you’re lucky enough to live in one of Melbourne’s finest locales. Throw your very own Bayside New Year’s Eve celebration at your house – just be respectful of your neighbours, of course. We’ve found you a great NYE playlist, and 3 of the best make-at-home cocktails to wow your guests.
