Wyangala Fireworks And Bonfire Spectacular Returns

The Wyangala Fireworks & Bonfire Spectacular is back again this year as the muchly anticipated June long weekend event. The event brings together an estimated 4,000 visitors made up by Wyangala Dam locals, neighboring townsfolk, and visitors that have travelled the distance.

Held at the Matt Morrison Oval Sunday of the June long weekend, this community event is made possible by dedicated volunteers from the town as well as some passionate ‘out of towners.’ The success of the event wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated volunteers, as well as a handful of generous local sponsors.

The events main attractions are the huge bonfire and dazzling fireworks display that seems to get bigger and better each year.

This is a free event however donation buckets will be available on the day and a gold coin donation is welcomed at the gate to help ensure the success of the following years event.

Other activities on the day (free and paid) kick off around 10am and wrap up just before the fireworks display kicks off around 6:30pm. You can try your hand at the Ambrose golf event, lawn bowls, the ‘nearest to the pin’ shoot out, junior putting competition for the kids, live entertainment by local musicians on the oval, as well as food and drinks stalls (cash only) and an amazing coffee van to keep patrons warm and toasty. Your taste buds can be tempted by hot dogs, sausage sizzle, fairly floss and popcorn on the oval, and steaming cups of home-made soups, toasties and pork or beef and gravy rolls up at the bowling club.

Bring your winter woolies, picnic rugs and chairs and grab your spot by the bonfire, set alight around 4:30pm. The fun doesn’t stop there! Entertain-ment and delicious meals can be found at the Wyangala Country Club after the fireworks conclude.

This is a BYO event. We ask that you practice responsible consumption of alcohol and respect that this is a family friendly event.
