Stage is set for the best New Year’s Eve ever
City of Sydney
Pyrotechnics, pylon projections, a spectacular Welcome to Country and a celebration of the upcoming WorldPride festival will delight crowds as Sydney rings in 2023.
More than 35,000 shooting ground-based effects, 12,000 aerial shells and over 100,000 individual pyrotechnic effects will be launched from four building rooftops across the city as well as barges, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House sails.
The stunning displays will see the Sydney Harbour Bridge transformed into a giant rainbow at midnight as a celebration of the city’s diversity ahead of next year’s Sydney WorldPride.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore said crowds are expected to return to the harbour foreshore this year, with local, interstate and overseas visitors witnessing the world’s most iconic fireworks display after three years of disruption.
“Sydney’s iconic fireworks are the best in the world and kick off global celebrations with a spectacular bang,” the Lord Mayor said. “As we go over the final plans and get ready for the countdown, we are hopeful this will be our best New Year’s Eve yet!”
