What is the name of the massive New Year's Eve street celebration in Sydney's central business district?

Sydney New Year's Eve is the name of the massive annual celebration in Sydney's central business district.

The event is centered on Sydney Harbour, especially the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. Its program includes aerial displays, harbor activities, and fireworks timed around local midnight. Because Sydney is among the major cities to reach the new year relatively early, its broadcast images are widely circulated internationally.

The celebration is sometimes confused with Vivid Sydney, a separate annual festival of light, music, and ideas that normally takes place later in the year. Sydney New Year's Eve also includes more than the midnight fireworks: family-oriented displays and earlier events are commonly scheduled for different audiences. The harbor landmarks provide the recognizable setting, while the official event name identifies the celebration itself.
