Edinburgh holds the Hogmanay street party on Princes Street during Scotland's New Year's celebrations.
Edinburgh's Hogmanay is a major public festival centered on the Scottish capital. Its traditional program has included a large street party along Princes Street, concerts, processions, and midnight fireworks viewed against the city's historic skyline. Event layouts, ticketing, and capacity rules may differ by year.
Princes Street runs along the southern edge of Edinburgh's New Town and faces Edinburgh Castle across the valley. That setting places the celebration between the Georgian architecture of the New Town and the medieval Old Town, two areas recognized together as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Hogmanay is broader than one event: the word can mean Scottish New Year's Eve and the associated celebrations. The street party is also distinct from the torchlight procession and from the fireworks themselves. Edinburgh is the city answer because Princes Street is one of its central avenues.
