Edinburgh hosts the annual New Year's Eve fireworks display and street celebrations called Hogmanay.
Edinburgh's Hogmanay takes place across several central locations, including streets and public spaces around the historic city center. Its program has included torchlight processions, concerts, a large street party, and fireworks around midnight, making it a major destination for New Year tourism.
The celebration draws on Scotland's long-standing Hogmanay traditions while presenting them in a modern festival format. Edinburgh Castle and the surrounding Old Town provide the best-known visual setting, although the exact program and ticket arrangements can change from year to year.
Glasgow and other Scottish cities also hold New Year's events, so the city name can be confused when a question mentions Scotland generally. Edinburgh is the specific city associated with the internationally promoted Hogmanay festival. Hogmanay itself is the Scottish name for the New Year celebration, not the name of Edinburgh's city or castle.
