Sydney's NYE celebrations are world famous, and for good reason. This year, our harbourside city's official fireworks will go down at 9pm and midnight, with the opening of the 2024 Sydney New Year’s Eve celebrations including a Welcome to Country and a monumnetal smoking ceremony.
Complementing the official fireworks that put Sydney on the map when it comes to NYE celebrations, the Harbour City is home to a stellar line up of parties, dinners and firework-illuminated events. This year, we can also expect magnificent pylon projections and incredible light effects glittering across the Harbour Bridge, with a "Calling Country" display created by Indigenous social enterprise We Are Warriors (WAW) designed to celebrate and amplify First Nations voices and stories. This year's smoking ceremony will see three vessels take to the harbour in a ceremony designed to cleanse and deter negative spirits.
Here, you will find everything you need for the best night out in Sydney on the sparkliest night of the year, from the best New Years Eve parties to all the best free places to see the fireworks in Sydney.
Plus, you'll also find the best cafes to recover in the next day, and then, when the time's right, the best New Years Day parties for you to hit up all over again.
Good luck to you all.
