In contrast to Campbelltown’s return to a traditional New Year’s Eve celebration, Liverpool is going high-tech on the last day of 2022.

From 7pm to midnight, Koshigaya Park in the heart of Campbeltown will be filled with rides, a variety of delicious food and dessert trucks, show bags and music as the clock counts down to midnight.

A spectacular fireworks display will take place at 9pm for families to enjoy, before a midnight fireworks show to welcome in the New Year.

There will be a free Glitter Bar to add some sparkle to the event and free face-painting for the kids.

“Koshigaya Park has always been a big hit with local families for our New Year’s Eve celebrations so it’s exciting to see it return here after a few disrupted years,” Mayor George Greiss said.

“I’m sure the whole park will be buzzing throughout the evening with a great array of family friendly music and entertainment planned,” Cr Greiss said.

“I look forward to seeing everyone there to welcome 2023 in Campbelltown,” he said.

Local artists Karleigh Rose and White Clover will warm up the crowds early in the evening before Glam Bam Thank You Ma’am take to the stage to play some of the best glam hits of the 70s.

Sons of Mercury will then bring their high-energy indie rock and dance fusion to the stage before home-grown star Missy Lancaster headlines the evening’s performances and begins the countdown to the midnight fireworks and welcome the New Year.

Liverpool will explode in colour and fireworks to welcome 2023 in a dazzling display that will be seen by more than 50 per cent of the community thanks to cutting edge electronics.

Liverpool’s “Light Up the Sky” celebration tomorrow night will feature simultaneous fireworks displays across six sites that will carry the pyrotechnic wonders to where they can be seen from as many homes and driveways as possible.

The seven-minute display that lights up the skies will have its origin in six selected sites: Sadleir, West Hoxton, Liverpool, Moorebank, Casula, and Hammondville.

The co-ordinated displays are synchronised to begin at 9pm.

The fireworks sites in the six suburbs chosen for the display will be closed to the public. The only place to watch them will be from your home or driveway or nearby vantage points.

Organisers say they will fire 5248 aerial shells as high as 155 metres into the sky where they will explode in predesigned computer patterns of intense colour and formation.
