A Sydney New Year's Eve Experience Really Is Like No Other

By Abby Cassinia


The New Year is all about new opportunities, new beginnings, new relationships and new experiences. New Year's Eve is a time for everybody, everywhere, to sit back, relax, get ready to party, and remember the year just gone.

New Year's Eve is the one full day where pretty much the whole world stops and gets ready to celebrate the beginning of a brand new year. New Year's Eve is often a fun night, filled with music, parties, public parades and private resolutions.

How do major cities celebrate New Year's Eve? In many ways, people of different places celebrate it in similar ways. Yet at the same time, they have their own traditional ways of welcoming the New Year that are different from the others. Some get their traditions depending on where they live and what they believe in.

Being near the International Date Line, Australia is among the first major countries to actually turn into the New Year. "Downunder" effectively becomes the commencement for all New Year's Eve celebrations. It can really be said that the rest of the world waits and watches for Oz to officially enter into the New Year and then countdown for the rest of us begins! Sydney in Australia has the most famous New Year's Eve celebration in Australia and the New Year's Eve in Sydney is easily the biggest Downunder.

Among the major features of Sydney's New Year's Eve celebration are their two traditional fireworks held in the city's famous Sydney Harbour. Over the years, Sydney has developed a distinct tradition for ushering in the New Year with an amazing fireworks display that the whole world watches. The first one (Family Fireworks) starts at around 9.00pm and the Midnight Fireworks welcome the New Year at midnight.

The amazing midnight firework display is strategically distributed through seven buildings around the harbour and on seven barges moored along the harbour. The seventh "barge" is actually the iconic Sydney Harbor Bridge! Last year the fireworks presentation played to the theme of "Embrace" and over a million people viewed this fiery display from vantage points along the harbour or aboard boat cruises. The New Year's Eve firework display on the stroke of midnight really is an impressive pyro technique presentation that is televised globally each year. Last New Year's Eve it is said that more than a billion people worldwide saw the Sydney New Year's Eve midnight fireworks at some stage during the day or night on their nightly news.

Although Sydney is such an amazing spot to see in the New Year, the most famous worldwide New Year's Eve celebration is in Times Square in New York City. Every year more than a million people flock to New York City's Times Square to watch the "ball drop" at midnight. This event first occurred over 100 years ago back in 1907 and has been consistently done ever since. The Times Square Ball is composed of panels with computerized LCD lighting. It drops from a temporary pole with a more than enthusiastic crowd of people below counting down the last few seconds. It is also watched across the country on TV by several millions of people.

Partying, music and dancing around the square and nearby buildings accompany the celebration of New Year.

In most other cities of the world, fireworks are a standard feature in celebrating New Year. In many cities, parades and parties are commonly practiced.
