Which harbor is the setting for Sydney's famous New Year's Eve fireworks?

Sydney's famous New Year's Eve fireworks take place over Sydney Harbour.

The celebration centers on the harbor's landmarks, especially the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. Fireworks are launched from the bridge, barges, and other locations around the harbor, creating a display visible from waterfront parks, boats, and elevated viewpoints.

Sydney's location near the International Date Line means its midnight celebration is among the first major televised New Year events seen by a worldwide audience, although it is not the first place on Earth to enter the new year. The program commonly includes an earlier family display as well as the main midnight fireworks.

The harbor is officially known as Port Jackson, while Sydney Harbour is the widely used name for the waterway and its public celebration. Darling Harbour is another Sydney entertainment district with its own events, but it is not the harbor that gives the city's signature fireworks their name.
