More FM are proud to support Auckland Council, SkyCity and Vector bringing together New Year’s Eve celebrations in Auckland’s city centre as Aotearoa New Zealand leads the global welcoming in of 2025.
Turn up 91.8 More FM on your radio for the New Year’s countdown, synced perfectly to a dazzling five-minute fireworks and light show from the Skytower and Harbour Bridge*.
Vector Lights viewing is recommended from the eastern side of the bridge as routine NZTA maintenance work will cause some lighting outages on the western side. Visit vector.co.nz/lights for suggestions on where to watch the show.
Aucklanders outside the city centre can enjoy the midnight show from afar –there will be great views of the fireworks and Vector Lights at many of the city’s maunga including:
Maungawhau / Mt Eden
Maungauika / North Head
Ōhinerau / Mt Hobson
Takarunga / Mt Victoria
Maungarei / Mt Wellington.
Large crowds are expected to gather into the evening, so please allow time for travel and plan well ahead using public transport, shared rides and taxis. Find the full map of road closures here
Travel tips:
Please be patient when approaching and leaving the city as traffic delays are likely.
The southbound clip-on lanes (lanes 1 & 2) of the Auckland Harbour Bridge will be closed on New Year’s Eve for essential resurfacing.
Plan your trip and arrange a safe ride home before heading out for New Year's Eve festivities – trains will not be running but replacement bus services will be available.
On New Year’s Eve, buses and ferries will operate on a Saturday timetable, with additional buses running after midnight. Use the Auckland Transport mobile app or Journey Planner for travel options.
The last ferry departures will be from downtown to Devonport/Matiatia at 12:15am, Devonport to downtown at 12:30am, and Matiatia to downtown at 1am.

Stay connected –take a fully charged phone to capture the countdown!
