Sydney's iconic harbour is set to shine on New Year's Eve with 100,000 pyrotechnic effects lighting up the skyline, after two years of muted celebrations.
The director of the Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks says this year's event is about bringing people together in celebration amid a"renewed optimism" for 2023.
Shedding off social restrictions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, about one million revellers are expected to ring in 2023 in spectacular fashion in what has become an event marked on the global calendar showcasing Australia's largest city. "Dazzling fireworks will erupt over the harbour representing clear blue skies, twinkling stars, sunburnt-coloured flowers and ocean creatures."The $5.8 million production will also feature a fun soundtrack from ARIA nominated DJ Stace Cadet and performances by Aboriginal artists Akala Newman and Kobie Dee.
