After 6 years we finally nailed the perfect weather for the NYE Fireworks in Port Albert last night. A huge crowd (4000+ people) well behaved crowd which helps us to keep going and start planning for 2025.

​

A massive thankyou to the Port Albert Progress Association crew for their huge effort last night. Record crowd and record effort too.

​

To those who donated gold coins etc last night - thankyou. We understand times are hard but really appreciate the effort people made to actually find us and put money in our tins.

​

The list is long for people who help us put this event on year after year.

Our major sponsors/fundraising partners this year were Victoria Hotel (Albo), Wellington Shire Council, Connect Well East Gippsland, Yarram Country Club, Yarram Bakery, Southerly Ten.

​

Much of our funding is raised by raffles on the first Friday of each month at The Albo. A huge shout out to Michelle and Brendan for their continued support.

 

In that same space a massive thankyou to Col who continues to help with the fund raising efforts at the Albo, even when I am away. If you are not doing anything this Friday our fundraising starts again for the 2025 event.

​

Last but certainly not least - thankyou to everyone who turned out and supported our event. It is such a relief when it finally happens but it really makes me smile seeing so many families out enjoying themselves.

​

I encourage you to take advantage of the 2025 NYE Event Patron option as a way to help fund this community event.
