Which famous New Year's Eve fireworks display takes place over Sydney Harbour in Australia?

Sydney New Year's Eve is the famous fireworks celebration held over Sydney Harbour in Australia.

The event uses Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, and the harbor itself as a backdrop. It normally features an earlier family fireworks show and a larger midnight display, with fireworks launched from barges and landmark structures around the water.

Sydney is one of the major cities to reach January 1 early in the global sequence because it uses Australian Eastern time, although it is not the world's first location to celebrate. The exact program, colors, performers, and attendance figures can change from year to year.

A common mix-up is to call the event simply “the Sydney fireworks.” The official event title is Sydney New Year's Eve, while the fireworks are its best-known feature. The celebration is distinct from Australia Day events, which take place on January 26.
