Shows that are broadcasted

Syndey
GMT +11  (13:00 31st Dec)

Sydney’s New Year’s Eve display is certainly worthy of its international reputation. Each year they stun people around the world with their fantastic night of shows and events, finishing their year with a world-class firework display.

Their events will begin from 6pm (7am GMT), with various shows and entertainment carrying on throughout the whole night, the whole thing being streamed and available to watch from their website.Their two most notable displays beingthe Harbour of Light Parade at 9pm (10am GMT) and of course their Fireworks Display at midnight (1pm GMT).

Harbour of Light Parade: Sydney Harbour is illuminated with ships gliding across the water, enchanting spectators of all ages. Each vessel is decorated with colour changing light, dazzling the crowds and adding to the unique choreography as they dance in the harbour.

Main Display: at the stroke of midnight, Sydney celebrates the start of their new year in spectacular fashion. The display features a huge range of pyrotechnic effects launched from firing points on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and barges in the harbour. The effect over the water is simply stunning and shouldn’t be missed.

London
MT 00:00 1st Jan

When it comes to celebrating New Year’s Eve, not many cities can do it better than our own London display. This year, our display is celebrating London’s relationship with Europe, supporting more than one million European Londoners living in the city.

The London New Year’s Eve firework display lights up central London every New Year’s Eve with a dazzling spectacle of pyrotechnics. Fired from the London Eye and River Thames, it is a truly dazzling sight to see.

The show includes specially designed hardware which attaches to the outside of the London Eye pods. There are also many barges lined along the River Thames, ready to fire into the night’s sky, illuminating the city and reflecting off the river. This hugely popular event sells out fast, but is also broadcasted on TV where many families across the UK will be watching in awe.

New York
GMT -5 (05:00 1st Jan)

The third and final show that is a must to see is the renowned display in New York City. Being set off at 5am UK time, it would be impressive if you were able to stay up to watch it live. But certainly this is one to try see online when you wake up on the 1st, maybe after a much needed cup of coffee!

Fireworks are set off all over the city and against some iconic backdrops, including Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge and of course the Statue of Liberty. The city is lit up with stunning bursts and state of the art effects. Certainly not one to miss.
