What is the name of Sydney's annual midnight fireworks celebration held on New Year's Eve?

Sydney's annual midnight fireworks celebration held on New Year's Eve is called Sydney New Year's Eve.

The event centers on Sydney Harbour, with fireworks launched from the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Opera House and other locations around the harbor. Because Sydney is among the major cities to reach midnight early in the global day, its broadcast images often appear prominently in international New Year's coverage.

Sydney's modern celebration developed from earlier public fireworks traditions and became a large, coordinated city event in the late twentieth century. It commonly includes a family fireworks display earlier in the evening as well as the main midnight show, though programming can change.

The celebration is sometimes casually called the “Sydney fireworks.” Its official event branding is Sydney New Year's Eve, while the harbor landmarks are the visual icons. The date is December 31 in local time, even though viewers elsewhere may watch it on a different calendar date.
