Which city hosts the Hogmanay street party beside Edinburgh Castle?

Edinburgh hosts the Hogmanay street party beside Edinburgh Castle.

Edinburgh's Hogmanay is a major multi-day New Year's celebration in Scotland's capital. Its best-known events have included a large street party in the city center, concerts, torchlight processions, and fireworks viewed with Edinburgh Castle as a dramatic backdrop.

The celebration developed into a major organized festival in the late 20th century, although New Year's customs in Edinburgh and Scotland are much older. The castle sits on Castle Rock above the city, making it a prominent landmark for both the event and televised images.

Event formats, routes, capacities, and ticket requirements can change from one year to another. Edinburgh's celebration should not be confused with Hogmanay as a whole: Hogmanay is the broader Scottish term, while Edinburgh's Hogmanay is the city's specific festival program. Other Scottish towns and cities hold their own New Year's events.
