What is the name of the large annual New Year's Eve street festival held in Sydney, Australia?

The large annual New Year's Eve street festival held in Sydney, Australia, is called Sydney New Year's Eve.

Sydney New Year's Eve is a major public celebration centered on Sydney Harbour. Its signature events include an evening program of aerial displays and a midnight fireworks show above Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. The harbor setting has made the celebration one of the most widely televised New Year's spectacles.

The event includes more than the midnight fireworks. Depending on the year, the program can feature an early family fireworks display, aerial performances, harbor lighting, ceremonies, and large crowds in parks and foreshore viewing areas. Organizers plan months ahead because the harbor is surrounded by dense residential and public spaces.

A common mix-up is calling the event “Sydney Harbour Fireworks.” That phrase describes its best-known feature, but the official event name is Sydney New Year's Eve. The fireworks design, schedule, access rules, and viewing locations can change annually.
