Bigger, brighter, better fireworks

17th Dec 2024

The clock is ticking down to the end of the year for the traditional New Years Eve Fireworks that will light up the skies across all major cities and towns across Australia. Guyra is no exception with
“Pyro Priest” Father Anthony (Holysmoke/Crackers) displaying his amazing artwork in the sky.
As you await the final hours of the year, everyone is invited to bring a chair or rug and to celebrate New Year’s Eve and welcome the many visitors from neighboring towns coming together at the Guyra Recreation Grounds.
The gates will open at 5.30pm, with a jumping castle, food vendors and stalls. Terra Firma will be playing from 6pm until 10.30pm.
Holysmoke promises that this New Year’s Eve will be bigger, and of course brighter, than last year. Along with the great entertainment he is planning some beautiful colourful pyrotechnics to light up not just the Guyra skyline, but the faces and hearts of young and old. The fireworks are set to go off at
9pm.
While the entertainment will be at the recreation grounds, this year the display will be fired from within the Showground. It will be visible from the Recreation grounds as well as the show ground.
“We have been working hard to provide a variety of amazing colors and special aerial effects this year,” Holysmoke said.
“It is always a huge challenge to provide something different each year that will delight our local community and accommodate the needs and requests of everyone.
“The ongoing support and requests from the community over 20 years have helped to continue maintaining some of the old traditional fireworks that the crowds love to see.”
“The focus of the night is to bring everyone, families, lonely and disadvantaged together, especially during these difficult times in caring, celebrating and looking after each other.
“The hard-working licensed pyro’s who give up their time to make this New Year’s Eve display in Guyra possible as well as special thanks to the many sponsors and in particular the Guyra Progress Association for encouraging everyone to come together as a community.
“The reward for the night’s entertainment well done is when the noise of the crowd’s applause is louder than the explosives.”
Holysmoke said that as a dog owner who respects the environment, the biggest challenge is to source products that give more colourful effects and less noise.
“Due to the nature of fireworks, it is important that residents also make an effort to take care of their pets on New Years Eve or when authorized fireworks display occur, he said.
“New Years Eve is a time once a year where we can support each other, put behind us the challenges we’ve faced and lets all celebrate what makes our town a great place to live.”
“Let us make an extra effort this year to care for each other and wish each other a happy new year ahead!”

Going strong for 100 years
