Glowmobiles
New Year's Eve (FREE)
A dazzling array of illuminated Art Cars and other amazing vehicles. Fire-breathing, music-making, wild-wheeled mechanical mischief on the streets.
NewcastleGateshead Winter Festival ends with a bang on New Year's Eve as it is transformed and illuminated by the magnificent Glowmobiles parade. New vehicles specially commissioned for this event will be joined by returning favourites such as the Green Goddess fire engine and Tone Float - a milk float which plays a tune on its bottles. The Glowmobiles, created by Walk the Plank, will congregate at Grey's Monument during the afternoon before parading up Northumberland Street in the early evening for a glowing finale outside Newcastle Civic Centre. Everyone is urged to dress up glowingly for the occasion. There will be prizes for the best dressed so why not join the event in illuminated hats, jewellery and costumes to join in the fun? Or you can make your own outfits in the Transformation Station on the day!
