Sayonara 2020 - Bring on 2021

A sunlit outdoor table with a glass of white wine, a straw hat, and a wooden board laden with cheese, fruits, and nuts, beside an open bottle of champagne, evoking a relaxed, luxurious atmosphere.

It’s been a year we’ll remember for all the wrong reasons. One that most of us will be excited to say goodbye to. 

Whether you’re drowning the sorrows of 2020 or toasting to the possibilities of 2021, we’ve got the best guide to Noosa’s party options right here (and a little bonus at the end for New Years Day).

Here’s our top 6 options to welcome the new year in Noosa: 

  1. Fireworks at the Marina/River
    This year, the Noosa Marina in Tewantin has fireworks at the family-friendly time of 9pm. It’s a great night out that the whole family will enjoy! Pack a picnic dinner and enjoy the spectacle.

  2. Locale NYE Lunch Party!
    Hastings St, cocktails, live music, champagne and Italian cuisine - New Years Eve at Locale will be a cracker. In fact, it’s sure to be so good that their dinner party tickets have already sold out. But rejoice! There are still tickets for the lunch sitting available, so start your celebrations early then crack onto one of our other recommendations afterwards.

  3. NSD NYE at Home

    - Providore in Hastings Street has some great platter options
    - Land & Sea Brewery and Boiling Pot for beers
    - Fortune Distillery for gin
    - Noosa Chocolate Factory for sweets
