The World's Greatest New Year Celebration
Nowhere does New Year's Eve like Edinburgh. On December 31st, over 40,000 revelers from more than 80 nations pack Princes Street under the illuminated crags of Edinburgh Castle to welcome the arrival of the New Year in unmatched Scottish style.
Four Stages of Music & Street Entertainment
Experience an eclectic multi-stage lineup spanning headline indie rock, chart-topping pop, live ceilidh stages where strangers link arms in massive reels, and pounding DJ sets. World-class street theatre troupes, stilt walkers, and bagpipers keep the energy soaring all evening.
The Midnight Castle Fireworks Finale
As the clock strikes midnight, a colossal multi-point pyrotechnic display erupts over the ramparts of Edinburgh Castle, synchronized to a bespoke Scottish soundtrack. The crowd unites in the world's most moving, earth-shaking chorus of Robert Burns's 'Auld Lang Syne'.
