What is the name of Sydney's famous New Year's Eve fireworks event held around its harbour?

Sydney’s famous fireworks event around its harbour is officially known as Sydney New Year’s Eve.

The celebration takes place around Sydney Harbour, with Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House forming its best-known visual landmarks. The program usually includes a family fireworks display earlier in the evening and a major midnight fireworks display.

Sydney is among the first major international cities to welcome the new year because of its position in the Pacific time zones. This timing has helped the event become a prominent global television and online broadcast, although exact viewing arrangements and program details can change from year to year.

The fireworks are launched from several locations around the harbour, including the bridge and barges on the water. The event attracts large crowds and requires extensive transport, crowd-control, and safety planning across central Sydney.
