What is the name of the annual New Year's Eve event held in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens?

The annual New Year's Eve event held in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens is the Hogmanay Concert in the Gardens. It is a major ticketed music event within Edinburgh's wider Hogmanay celebrations.

The concert takes place beneath Edinburgh Castle and forms part of a program that can include a torchlight procession, a large street party, and a midnight fireworks display. The exact performers and event arrangements vary from year to year, so the concert's lineup is not a fixed historical fact.

“Hogmanay” is the Scots word for New Year's Eve and also the name used for Scotland's broader New Year celebrations. Edinburgh's modern festival developed into a prominent international event, combining Scottish customs with contemporary concerts and large public gatherings.

The Concert in the Gardens should not be confused with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which is held in August, or the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, another major castle-centered event. Its defining date is December 31, and its defining setting is the gardens below Edinburgh Castle.
