Fireworks start at 8PM



Event Duration:

The Skyworks show usually runs for half an hour and has involved fireworks launched from bridges, barges, and buildings in the CBD.

Event History:

The Skyworks started in 1985 in conjunction with 96fm, and is now one of the most popular events in Perth. Some people camp out from early morning to get the best view. Good viewing points are South PerthKings Park, and the Perth foreshore, while the flat nature of the Swan Coastal Plain allows viewing from elevated suburban locations further away.



In 2005 and 2006 onwards, Foti Fireworks were in charge of the fireworks. In 2007, Howard and Sons were responsible for the fireworks and Laser System Europe were responsible for the new laser show

This stunning spot is hidden along the extensive coastline of Western Australia and its vibrant hue is created by bacteria which becomes trapped in the salt granules.
