Glowmobiles, NewcastleGateshead, GB


Glowmobiles - A dazzling array of illuminated Art Cars and other amazing vehicles. Fire-breathing, music-making, wild-wheeled mechanical mischief on the streets.

NewcastleGateshead’s fabulous FREE New Year’s Eve celebrations will be better than ever this year, with a fun event for all the family – Glowmobiles. A dazzling array of incredible Art Cars and other illuminated vehicles will make
their lively and mischievous way to several locations around NewcastleGateshead where they can be viewed by the public.

This is no ordinary traffic jam – these surreal wheeled wonders, created by artists and members of the public, include cars, bikes and scooters, a milk float and even a fire engine, all wonderfully lit up, painted, decorated and sculpted. Some breathe fire, some make music and others explode with fireworks! A fleet of gleaming Glow Bikes will make up part of the parade - see the bikes come to life!

Glowmobiles, created by Walk The Plank, will be located at ‘pit-stops’ at Saltwell Park, Baltic Square, Times Square and Monument, finishing with a parade of all the vehicles from Grey’s Monument at 5.30pm, before ending up at Newcastle Civic Centre at 6.30pm for a grand finale and fireworks display.

The final line-up has been announced for the amazing art cars which will take to the streets on New Year’s Eve:
