New Year's Eve in Sydney
Where to watch the Sydney fireworks, party and recover this NYE
Sydney's NYE celebrations are world famous, and for good reason. Sydney’s official fireworks ceremonies take place at 9pm and midnight. This year’s official opening of the 2018 Sydney New Year’s Eve celebrations will include a Welcome to Country, with special effects displayed on Sydney Harbour Bridge to represent Aboriginal culture, as well as a smoking ceremony. The design of the display will aim to reflect Sydney's diverse cultural landscape, our social progress and the energetic and ever evolving pulse of the city.
