Welcome the New Year in spectacular style when Orange’s free New Year’s Eve party lights up the Civic Square North Court from 6.30pm on December 31.
With a focus on the community, Light Up Orange 2022 will feature local musicians and food vendors, as well as a spectacular light show and projections by Stephan de Wit set to illuminate the gallery wall and shade sails.
Orange Mayor Jason Hamling said this event has been provided to encourage family and friends to come together to celebrate the incoming year.
LIGHT UP: Orange Mayor Jason Hamling, local musician Megan Woods and MC Holly Manning are looking forward to welcoming the new year at Light Up Orange.
“Light Up Orange 2022 gives everyone the opportunity to come together on a picnic rug or chair to enjoy the great outdoors with family and friends on the last day of the year,” Cr Hamling said.
Orange City Council received funding from the NSW Government through the Reconnecting Regional NSW program to support the event.
“This year we have plenty to celebrate and I invite everyone to come down and welcome in the new year with live music and a laid-back style.”
The alcohol-free event will feature live performances from local solo artists Megan Woods, Eli Stanford, Dubbo hip hop group Riley & Ah-See, and Orange’s own O’Donnell 3.
You can take a picnic, but attendees are encouraged to support the local food stalls that will be there, including Orange Pie Co, the Tuckshop Tucker Truck, Spilt Milk and Spuddz.
Spaces are limited so tickets need to be purchased prior to the event via Try-Booking.
The event will be fenced for ticketing. The limit is 2000 people and the event finishes at 9.30pm.
