2009 Sydney New Year's Eve
Nowhere on earth does New Year like Sydney – the undisputed New Year’s Eve capital of the world. And this year our biggest and best show yet will be awakening Sydney’s spirit for the year ahead.
Everyone is invited to join the celebrations on the Harbour and to get into the spirit by coming dressed in a touch of blue. Sydney’s spirit is reflected by the colour blue - our stunning blue harbour and gorgeous summer sky.
The countdown to midnight begins at 5pm with Pre Show Entertainment on the Harbour, an Indigenous Smoking Ceremony and an Acknowledgement of Country, when our traditional custodians will ‘call up’ the first reveal of the Bridge Effect with a series of fireworks firings.
At 9pm the spectacular Family Fireworks and much loved Harbour of Light Parade will leave the crowd wanting more. And the anticipation is over at the stroke of midnight when Sydney bursts the night sky open with the epic Midnight Fireworks display to signal the start of the New Year.
