What a great idea for NYE!!!

Family fun and fireworks this New Year’s Eve 🎆 Yes we said FIREWORKS!

If you're looking for a relaxed, family-friendly way to welcome the New Year, this much-loved local tradition at Dromana 3 Drive In is all about easy fun for all ages. Expect live music, kids' entertainment, food, movies and fireworks, all in one place.

Paul + Shelley have a great evening planned with plenty to keep little ones entertained and space to settle in for the night. It's a New Year’s Eve experience designed for families who want to celebrate together.

✨ Gates open from 5:00pm, arrive early, find your spot and enjoy the evening as it unfolds, before the excitement of fireworks close to midnight.
