The fireworks are on Nov 1st this year (or the 2nd as a backup), and there's free transport afterwards. Regular prices apply GETTING there tho.
Public transport
Catching the bus is going to be the quickest way in and out of New Brighton. We’ve made it easy for everyone to park at Eastgate Mall and will have our team onsite to help direct you across Pages Road to hop on the Yellow Line. Plus, anyone wanting to catch the bus home afterwards can do so for FREE! Just hop on board and you’ll be given a free ticket for that bus and any other bus you need to transfer to, to get home (normal fares apply getting there). Existing routes will have extra buses running on the night, with the last bus leaving New Brighton at 11.15pm. Pick up and drop off points will be on Beresford Street.
