Skylighter Fireworks delivered the Lord Mayor’s New Year’s Eve Fireworks for the city of Brisbane.
Both displays featured a variety of low, medium, and high energy moments throughout the display, launched from 3 positions in the South Brisbane Reach of the River.
The theme was “Celebrate the Bloom of Brisbane”, as we head towards Brisbane 2032 and showcase our unique city.
Custom comet and rainbow spinning multishots featured as part of the display this year, having never been used in such settings.
The midnight display contained aquatic multishot effects, moving fish, and a tribute to the Jacaranda through purple, aerial ambience.
