What is the name of the giant New Year's Eve fireworks festival held in Sydney Harbour?

Sydney New Year's Eve is the giant fireworks festival held around Sydney Harbour.

The event is staged around landmarks including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, with fireworks launched from barges, buildings, and the bridge area. It is among the first major international New Year's celebrations to be broadcast widely because Australia reaches midnight before many major European and American cities.

The modern event grew from Sydney's earlier public celebrations and became especially prominent through large-scale televised fireworks. It usually includes an earlier family fireworks session as well as the main midnight display, although exact programming can change.

The celebration is sometimes described simply as the Sydney fireworks. Its official event branding, however, is Sydney New Year's Eve. The nearby Harbour Bridge is a launch platform and visual landmark, but it is not the name of the festival itself.
