Mackay rang in 2026 in spectacular style at the 2025 New Year’s Eve River Party at Bluewater Quay, where families and locals turned out in force to farewell the year together.
The riverfront came alive with bustling food stalls, live music setting the soundtrack for the night, and a vibrant atmosphere that reflected the spirit of the community. As evening fell, the celebrations built to a dazzling fireworks display, lighting up the sky and marking a memorable start to the year ahead.
As you hold our very first publication of 2026 in hand, Life Publishing Group extends our warmest New Year wishes to our community. A fresh year brings fresh perspective, with new stories to tell, milestones to celebrate, and moments that remind us why local voices matter.
Thank you for welcoming Life into your homes, your conversations, and your everyday lives. Here’s to bold beginnings, shared success, and a year driven by connection, community, and possibility.
Happy New Year!
