For NYE 2025 the City of Melbourne is seeking expressions of interest from catering operators to participate at one of the four Official Celebration Zones - Treasury Gardens, Flagstaff Gardens, Kings Domain, Docklands as well as an additional catering location in Alexandra Gardens. The focus of the event is free entertainment, in the lead up to the 9.30pm and midnight moment. The City of Melbourne is seeking to engage a broad range of catering options.

Opportunities to be involved are limited and final selection of successful operators will be the responsibility of the City of Melbourne. Submission of the NYE 2025 Catering Operators Expression of Interest and any associated materials does not guarantee inclusion into the NYE 2025 event. We are seeking interest from caterers who operate fully self-contained outlets. Self-contained meaning all food preparation, wash up facilities and service frontage is contained within the space of the outlet itself. Marquee based vendors will not be accepted for this event.
