Council is thrilled to announce the return of fireworks to the riverbanks of Wharf Hill, Sturt Reserve this New Year’s Eve, proudly sponsored by Diamond Sponsor Gifford Hill, in partnership with Spry Civil Construction.

After a hiatus, this iconic event will once again transform Wharf Hill, Sturt Reserve into the ultimate destination for New Year’s Eve, featuring a magical night for families and friends to celebrate and enjoy a spectacular show of fireworks over the river.

Whether you’re enjoying the show from the riverbank, the water or among the crowd, Murray Bridge is the place to celebrate New Year’s Eve in style.

Location: Wharf Hill, Sturt Reserve
Time: From 6pm, Tuesday 31 December 2024

The festivities will kick-off at 6pm with a vibrant line-up of food trucks and music. The iconic Bridge will be illuminated from 7pm, setting the stage for the main event - a stunning display of fireworks, presented by Diamond Sponsor Gifford Hill and in partnership with Spry Civil Construction, lighting up the sky from 9pm.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, bridge and river closures will be in place during the fireworks. Please ensure pets are safely secured before the fireworks begin, as loud noises can be distressing for animals. The event is drug and alcohol-free, with dry zone restrictions in effect across Murray Bridge.

Council extends heartfelt thanks to Gifford Hill, our Diamond Sponsor, whose generosity and support have made this event possible. Special thanks also goes to our event partner Spry Civil Construction for their invaluable contribution to bringing this beloved celebration back to life.

We also express our gratitude to our additional sponsors Bridge Office National, Buddle Material Handling Pty Ltd, Tyndale Christian School - Murray Bridge and B & L Cox Electrical Pty Ltd, whose support has been instrumental in making this event a reality.

Make your New Year’s Eve unforgettable—join us at Wharf Hill, Sturt Reserve for an evening of food, music and spectacular fireworks as we welcome 2025 together.
