Rotorua is gearing up for a busy festive season, and Rotorua GLO Festival is Rotorua's offering for end-of-year celebrations.

GLO Festival starts at 4.30pm on December 31 with the multi award-winning animated Disney feature Coco – voted by the Rotorua public as their movie choice for the night, followed by local entertainment including music students from Toi Ohomai, 2018 Miss Rotorua contestants, a kids' disco, DJ Pete Makiha and music from Remaster and the Geyser Chiefs.

The evening will finish with a spectacular 15-minute fireworks display at 9.30pm on the lakefront.

A range of food will also be available from mobile food vendors and Mahons Amusements are next door.

To ensure the evening is kept family friendly, the event is smoke-free, alcohol-free, and the council asks that people only bring picnic blankets and chairs – no gazebos or tents – to ensure everyone has a great view of the movie and stage.
