With its impressive fireworks, giant video projections and massive crowds, New Year’s Eve celebrations in Sydney are always a must-see. Here is the city's final preparations.


With a million spectators expected along Sydney Harbour foreshore and a global audience of millions more, preparations are well underway for the city's 12-minute New Year's Eve fireworks show.

This year, the focus will be firmly anchored around First Nations traditions and for the first time in the event’s history, visual animations created by artificial intelligence will be projected throughout the evening on the pylons of Sydney Harbour Bridge.

City of Sydney Major Events executive producer, Stephen Gilby says they're looking forward to a return to normal after the COVID pandemic.
