With so much fun taking place in this wonderful city of ours you definitely won't want to be anywhere else this New Year's Eve.

Tauranga City Council's NYE programme features live music, family-friendly entertainment, comedy, fireworks and more in a liquor and vehicle-free zone around the Mount main beach, Papamoa and the CBD.

Revellers party the night away last New Year's Eve at Mount Maunganui.

Mayor Stuart Crosby says no matter who you are, this summer's NYE celebrations will have something for everyone.

'Our events team is working hard to ensure everyone can enjoy a safe environment for an unforgettable start to the New Year.”

Get the night started right with delicious food created by top local chefs at Dinner in the Domain in Papamoa, from 5.30pm-9pm.

For the little ones, the New Year will be welcomed in with fireworks from a barge on Tauranga's Waterfront at 9.30pm, then again at midnight those wanting to celebrate in the CBD.

Over at Mount Drury, a range of family-friendly performances, movies and more at the Mount Drury Family Stage from 6.30pm-9.30pm.

Then from 8pm it's music time live performances from the funkadelic B2KDA and Trinity Roots on The Hits Street Stage which can be found on Marine Parade.

While over on the iHeart Beach Stage by the Mount toilet block it's an EDM dream with DJ Lyrakill and a host of other great DJs continuing the celebration until 1am.

Down the road in Papamoa they'll be celebrating the New Year with an exclusive event at the Papamoa Tavern.

Hosted by Brutus Powers, Papamoa Beach New Year's Eve 2015 features international DJ and headline act A.Skillz, with support from Kiwi DJ's Rich Rush & Kellyn, and Such&Such.
