The traditional New Year's Eve street party held in Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations is called the Street Party.
Edinburgh's Hogmanay program includes a large ticketed Street Party in the city center, traditionally associated with Princes Street and the surrounding central area. It combines live music, entertainment, crowd celebrations, and views toward the city's historic skyline. It is one part of a wider festival rather than the complete name of the event.
Other Hogmanay activities can include the Torchlight Procession, a concert, and a New Year's Day gathering. Because the festival has changed its program over time, exact venues and event names can vary between years. The straightforward phrase “Street Party” identifies the headline New Year's Eve gathering, while “Hogmanay” refers to the entire Scottish New Year tradition and Edinburgh festival.
