Tomarata's annual fireworks fundraiser cancelled

It’s with heavy hearts that organisers have announced the cancellation of this year’s Tomarata Fireworks.


A much-loved annual event on the local calendar for many years, Tomarata Fireworks has been the biggest fundraiser for Tomarata School and a highlight for families across the community. The event has always been about bringing people together to celebrate and support their rural school.



Unfortunately, the long-standing pyrotechnics partner, who has supported the event for over 15 years, has had to step back at short notice. With the November date fast approaching, organisers say there is no way to safely or responsibly deliver the fireworks show the community deserves.


While the news is disappointing, the team says it offers a chance to pause and reflect on what the event has meant to the community over the years.


Tomarata School and the organising committee extend their heartfelt thanks to all sponsors, volunteers, and supporters for their understanding and ongoing support.
