New Year's Eve 2025 wrap up

South Australia Police (SAPOL) has expressed satisfaction with the overall behaviour of revellers who welcomed the arrival of 2026 across the state. Popular celebration spots included Adelaide’s CBD, Glenelg, Semaphore, Brighton, and other coastal areas. Numerous events were held throughout South Australia, drawing thousands into the city to ring in the New Year. Among the highlights, more than 38,000 attendees gathered at Adelaide Oval for the Big Bash Cricket, while large crowds filled the CBD to enjoy the festivities. Ahead of the celebrations, SAPOL made it clear that anti-social and disruptive behaviour would not be tolerated. A strong and visible police presence was deployed in areas known for high foot traffic during New Year’s Eve. Assistant Commissioner John De Candia noted, “It was heartening to see so many people taking the opportunity to reconnect with friends and family or simply enjoy a quiet evening with loved ones.” “The majority of attendees were respectful and well-behaved, though unfortunately a small number chose to act irresponsibly,” he said. “I want to acknowledge the dedication of our officers and emergency service personnel who worked through the night to keep our communities safe. Their commitment during this busy time is deeply appreciated.” Police recorded 72 arrests, 10 reports, and issued 225 expiation notices for offences such as drug possession, alcohol consumption in dry zones, and disorderly conduct. Compared to last year when there were 72 arrests, 11 reports, and 119 expiation notices for similar offences.
