What is the name of Sydney's best-known New Year's Eve fireworks display, held over its harbour?

Sydney New Year's Eve is the name of Sydney's best-known fireworks celebration held over its harbour.

The event centers on Sydney Harbour, with fireworks staged around landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. It includes an earlier family fireworks display and a major midnight show, allowing audiences to celebrate before midnight as well as at the year's official changeover.

Sydney's location in the Southern Hemisphere gives the celebration a summer setting. Images of the illuminated bridge and harbour have made the event one of the most recognizable New Year's broadcasts worldwide.

The fireworks are only part of a larger program that can include aerial displays, projections, boats, and performances. The phrase “Sydney New Year's Eve” is the official event name used for the annual celebration, while “Sydney fireworks” is a common informal description.
