For the first time in five years, Tauranga City Council is hosting a New year s Eve celebration in Mount Maunganui. The Mount used to be one of New Zealand s New Year s Eve party hotspots, but for five years it s had no public entertainment or fireworks display.
The party stopped in 2016, when the Tauranga City Council axed its annual beachfront concert and midnight Pilot Bay fireworks after allegations young partygoers had been sexually abused at the concert set social media alight and hit national headlines.
