The Best New Year’s Eve Events Happening Around Sydney
Ring in the new year on the harbour, on a rooftop or at the bowlo.
Yes, it's that over-hyped, over-exaggerated, over-emotional time of year again: New Year's Eve. We understand that you're hesitant to commit to anything just yet — and you're probably waiting for your friend with a pool to invite you over — but if that doesn't work out, there's plenty to do in this little ol' city of ours. Whether you want to dance the night away to '90s tunes, watch the fireworks or just sit in the dark and watch a movie, you can do just that.
