Which Sydney landmark is crossed by the famous New Year's Eve fireworks display?

Sydney's famous New Year's Eve fireworks display is staged around the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The bridge forms a central visual feature of the annual celebration, with fireworks launched from the bridge itself and nearby barges. The Sydney Opera House is also prominently visible and used in the event, which is why the two landmarks are sometimes confused in short descriptions.

Sydney's midnight display is internationally prominent because Australia's time zone places the city among the earliest major cities to celebrate the Gregorian New Year. The event includes a family fireworks session earlier in the evening and a midnight show.

The Harbour Bridge opened in 1932 and is one of Sydney's defining structures. It is a steel arch bridge connecting the central business district with the North Shore, while the Opera House stands nearby on Bennelong Point.
