New Year's Eve in Sydney
31 December 2025
The city is getting ready for the biggest party of the year, where more than 1 million people gather around Sydney Harbour to watch the world-famous fireworks display.
The 9pm Calling Country fireworks celebrate the land, sky and sea. Boats adorned with lights shine bright as they glide across the harbour, before the world's best fireworks show brings in the new year at midnight.
Celebrate the start of 2026 with colourful pyrotechnics launched from the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and other iconic landmarks.
