The Sydney NYE experience is heralded as one of the best New Year’s Eve celebrations in the world. We call it “One of the Wonders of the New Years World”. The NYE party is held on and around the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. The “coat hanger” as the bridge is sometimes called, is a key centre attraction for the Sydney NYE fireworks display. There are two New Year fireworks displays plus the Parade of Lights.
