Celebrate New Year’s Eve in the heart of the city, with a curated line-up of some of Melbourne’s most exciting DJs on the Main Stage, or book in an all-inclusive drinks and entertainment experience at one of the bars or restaurants. 

Planning on celebrating New Year’s Eve at Fed Square? There are a range of options to help you celebrate your way, safely.

Out in the Main Square, you can enjoy free entertainment, curated by returning DJ favourite, Barry Sunset. Barry will kick off and close the night on the decks, with a line-up featuring other legendary Melbourne DJs, MzRizk and Gavin Campbell.

Many of Fed Square's restaurants and bars offer all-inclusive drinks and dining packages for a stress-free option to celebrate, many with a front row ticket to the fireworks.

Expect disco, funk, house and dancefloor classic throughout the night, as the soundtrack to your 2026 countdown.

The night is always a busy one in the city, and there are a number of alternative Celebration Zones located in the CBD, where you can guarantee a good view of the fireworks.
