Sydney front and centre of the global New Year’s Eve stage
City of Sydney
The countdown has begun for one of the world’s grandest and most memorable nights of the year – Sydney New Year’s Eve. Marking the end of the year and heralding the start of 2024, the sky over Sydney Harbour will become a canvas for fireworks, pyrotechnics and synchronised music.
As one of the first cities to ring in the new year, Sydney sets the benchmark for New Year’s Eve celebrations around the world with 20 minutes of fireworks over two displays, a smoking ceremony, pylon projections and lighting display, illuminated vessels on the water and a surprise appearance from everybody’s favourite Heelers, Bluey and Bingo.
For the first time in the event’s history, AI technology will be used to create animated segments that will be projected onto the pylons of the Sydney Harbour Bridge throughout the evening.
Fifteen months in the planning, Sydney New Year’s Eve is regarded as one of the largest and most technologically advanced fireworks displays in the world.
“New Year’s Eve on Sydney Harbour is objectively one of the most spectacular annual events on the planet,” Lord Mayor, Clover Moore AO said.
