Fireworks will light up Murray Bridge for New Year’s Eve 2025
Locals will once again be treated to a dazzling display of fireworks on the eve of the new year.
Once again fireworks will be lit and the bridge will be glowing for the annual Murray Bridge New Year's Eve celebrations.
Along the riverbanks at Sturt Reserve, locals will enjoy food trucks, live music and entertainment from 5pm.
The 100-year-old railway bridge will be illuminated ahead of everyone's favourite part: fireworks lighting up the sky from 9.30pm.
Bridge and river closures will be in place during the fireworks to ensure the safety of attendees.
Mayor Wayne Thorley said the excitement was already building for the celebrations.
"We are proud to ring in the new year over our iconic bridge," he said.
"Events like this not only bring people together, but also support our local economy by attracting visitors to our region and showcasing our businesses, hospitality and vibrant public spaces."
Residents are reminded to keep pets safely secured and be aware of dry zone restrictions.
Crowds will be able to watch on from the new lower timber wharf which was part of the Sturt Reserve and surrounding riverfront upgrades.
What else is happening on New Year's Eve?
Mannum will have its own set of fireworks shooting off just before midnight, along the river near Mary Ann Reserve.
The celebration will be brought to the community by the Mannum Progress Association thanks to generous donations from locals.
Live entertainment by local band Midnight Radio will kick off at the Pretoria Hotel from 9.30pm.
