MIDNIGHT ON THE WATERFRONT

Fireworks and the city skyline.

In previous years, the views of Melbourne's midnight fireworks from the South Wharf promenade have been fantastic. Plus 5 is right on the waterfront, with easy access to this public space — a great place to be when the clock strikes midnight.

This year's fireworks, viewing conditions and public access arrangements are managed by the City of Melbourne and may change. The promenade is public and no viewing area is reserved for Plus 5 guests. Fireworks views cannot be guaranteed.
