More Local Venues Ring in 2026
The Kallangur Tavern is hosting ‘The Return of The Bungalow’, promising a night of nostalgia with a DJ, dance floor and midnight countdown.
Publican Joseph Kollas said The Bungalow was an icon of Kallangur’s nightlife back in the day.
“Everyone’s got a story from a night out there,” Joseph said. “We wanted to bring that energy back for one night only this New Year’s Eve.
“These days, most people around here head into the Valley or the one or two other venues nearby for a big night out – but we wanted to give locals something special right here at home. It’s great to be able to throw a proper New Year’s Eve party without the city prices, long lines, or expensive entry fees… and yes, we’ve even got a confetti cannon ready to go – because why should the Valley have all the fun?”
