What is the name of the New Year's Eve firework celebration held at the Sydney Harbour Bridge?

The firework celebration held at Sydney Harbour Bridge is officially known as Sydney New Year’s Eve.

Sydney’s annual celebration takes place around Sydney Harbour, with the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House forming its most recognizable setting. The event includes air displays, harbor activities, lighting effects, and fireworks. Its midnight display is timed for the local New Year and is among the first major global celebrations to receive extensive international television coverage.

Sydney’s New Year’s Eve fireworks became especially prominent after the city’s 2000 Olympic year, although organized fireworks and public celebrations existed earlier. The city uses barges, rooftops, and bridge structures as launch locations, producing a display visible from many harbor vantage points.

The event is sometimes incorrectly called “Vivid Sydney,” but Vivid Sydney is a separate annual festival of light, music, and ideas, generally held in winter. Sydney New Year’s Eve is also different from Australia Day, which is celebrated on January 26.
