Edinburgh hosts the Hogmanay street celebration, including its famous torchlight procession and midnight fireworks.
Hogmanay is the Scottish celebration of New Year's Eve and the arrival of the new year. Edinburgh's modern festival developed into a large public event featuring concerts, a torchlight procession, a street party, and fireworks near Edinburgh Castle. Specific routes, venues, and programs can change for safety or organizational reasons.
The torchlight procession traditionally moves through the city toward an area near the historic Old Town. Fireworks at midnight use the castle and surrounding skyline as a dramatic backdrop. The event attracts visitors from Scotland and abroad, although attendance and access depend on ticketing and official arrangements.
Edinburgh is not the only Scottish city with Hogmanay traditions. Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, and many smaller communities hold their own celebrations. The question concerns the internationally prominent festival in Scotland's capital, not the name of the celebration itself.
