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

The annual fireworks celebration at Sydney Harbour is officially known as Sydney New Year's Eve.

The event is staged around Sydney Harbour, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House forming its best-known visual setting. Fireworks are launched from barges, buildings, and the bridge area, creating a display that is broadcast internationally because Sydney reaches midnight relatively early compared with Europe and the Americas.

The celebration includes more than the midnight display. Organizers have used an earlier family fireworks session, an aerial show, and a midnight fireworks program, with exact formats changing from year to year. Harbour access, viewing areas, transport, and safety arrangements are managed as a major public event.

Sydney's celebration is sometimes described as simply the “Sydney fireworks,” but the formal event title is Sydney New Year's Eve. It should also not be confused with Australia Day celebrations, which occur on 26 January and are a separate national holiday.
