Which New Year's Eve event is traditionally held at Sydney Harbour in Australia?

The event traditionally held at Sydney Harbour in Australia is Sydney New Year's Eve.

Sydney New Year's Eve is an annual celebration centered on Sydney Harbour, with fireworks staged around landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. Because of Australia's time zone, the event is among the major international New Year's celebrations seen early in the global countdown.

The harbor display includes a midnight fireworks show and, in many years, an earlier family fireworks event. Exact program elements, themes, and viewing arrangements can change, but the harbor landmarks remain the defining setting.

Sydney New Year's Eve is distinct from Australia Day, which is observed on January 26, and from Vivid Sydney, an annual light, music, and ideas festival usually held later in the year. Sydney Festival is also a separate cultural event, so those names are not interchangeable.
