New Year’s Eve 2025 on the Gold Coast is one super large party place. From Coolangatta right up to the Spit there will be pockets of fireworks displays mainly directed over the ocean water areas. For summer holiday makers and for those party goers just there for the 31st December 2025 it should be a fabulous spectacle.
Add to this the many and varied restaurants and pubs and clubs and you have a mix of NYE options that caters for almost everyone. The Gold Coast weather in Summer is awesome. And because it is reliably warm, most restaurants and hotels have dress requirements that are a little more casual than the stiffs of the southern capital cities.
The Gold Coast is the fastest growing area of Australia and although it has a reputation of a hotspot for retirees, it’s venues and atmosphere also rivals the best capital city clubs and pub venues.
Get ready to Welcome in 2026. Enjoy your New Year’s Eve on the Gold Coast.
