What is the name of the large New Year's Eve street celebration traditionally held in Edinburgh, Scotland?

Edinburgh's Hogmanay is the large New Year's Eve street celebration traditionally held in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The modern festival is centered around the change from December 31 to January 1 and has included concerts, processions, fireworks, and large gatherings in the city's historic center. Princes Street and the surrounding streets have often served as major celebration areas, although event layouts and access arrangements can change from year to year.

Edinburgh's event grew into an internationally recognized festival in the late twentieth century. Its program has included a torchlight procession, a concert in Princes Street Gardens, and the traditional singing of “Auld Lang Syne” after midnight.

The event is part of Scotland's wider Hogmanay tradition, rather than a separate Scottish holiday with a different date. It is also distinct from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which is primarily a summer arts festival held in August.
