Revellers out and about in Port Douglas will have the chance two enjoy two separate firework shows to help bring in the new year.

Douglas Shire Council confirmed a family friendly show will be held at 8pm followed by a second midnight display at Dickson Inlet to ring in 2023.

Food trucks and free kids’ entertainment with a disco, UV glow lighting and face painting will also take place at Market Park from 5.30pm. 

“Local restaurants and bars are always overflowing on New Year’s Eve, and I encourage everyone to make the most of the night,” Douglas Shire Mayor Michael Kerr said.

“With free family friendly entertainment and dazzling fireworks displays, there’s no better place to be for the community to come together and celebrate the new year.”

“I would like to thank all our amazing sponsors, in particular the Tin Shed which has provided significant sponsorship support to help us secure the fireworks.”
