Edinburgh's Hogmanay is the public New Year's Eve celebration in Edinburgh known for concerts and a midnight fireworks display.
The festival grew from Scotland's Hogmanay traditions into a large organized event featuring street entertainment, concerts, and gatherings around the city center. Its best-known program has included a major outdoor concert and a midnight fireworks display viewed against Edinburgh's historic skyline.
The event is distinct from the torchlight procession that can form part of Edinburgh's wider Hogmanay program. It is also distinct from Hogmanay as a general Scottish term for New Year celebrations. Different editions can change venue layouts, performers, ticketing, and procession arrangements.
Edinburgh's celebration attracts visitors from around the world, but it is only one expression of Scotland's New Year customs. First-footing, singing Auld Lang Syne, and family gatherings are associated with the season across Scotland.
