In which harbor does Sydney's major New Year's Eve fireworks display take place?

Sydney’s major New Year’s Eve fireworks display takes place in Sydney Harbour.

The celebration is centered on the harbor’s landmarks, especially the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. Fireworks are launched from barges, buildings, and the bridge, creating a display visible from many waterfront viewpoints. The program commonly includes an earlier family-friendly display as well as the main midnight fireworks.

Sydney’s location near the International Date Line means it is among the prominent large cities to welcome the New Year, although it is not the first inhabited place on Earth to do so. Its celebration is broadcast internationally and has become one of the most recognizable New Year’s Eve events.

Sydney Harbour should not be confused with Darling Harbour, another Sydney waterfront area that hosts events but is not the name of the main geographic setting for the city’s signature display.
