What is the official name of the New Year's Eve celebration held annually in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens?

The official name of the New Year's Eve celebration held in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens is Edinburgh's Hogmanay.

Edinburgh's Hogmanay is a major multi-day festival centered on the Scottish capital's New Year's celebrations. Its program has included concerts, street parties, a torchlight procession, and a fireworks display watched from central Edinburgh. Princes Street Gardens has been used as a principal concert and viewing area.

The event is part of Scotland's broader Hogmanay tradition rather than a separate national holiday name. The modern organized festival developed into a major international event during the late twentieth century, helping establish Edinburgh as a prominent destination for New Year's travel.

Dates, venues, performers, and crowd arrangements can change from year to year, especially when public-health or safety measures affect programming. The festival name, however, identifies Edinburgh's organized New Year's celebration and should not be confused with Burns Night or the Shetland fire festival Up Helly Aa.
