New Year's Eve at Barangaroo Reserve
Sunday 31st December, 2023
FREE
Celebrate NYE on Barangaroo Reserve.
We look forward to welcoming the New Year with you at Barangaroo Reserve.
We're delighted that this year will be FREE and non-ticketed for everybody and is the ideal spot for families, friends and couples to enjoy panoramic views of the fireworks and western face of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
No special spots or reservations, it's first-come, first-served. We'll make sure it's safe with capacity limits. Once a spot's full, it's closed, so come early! No pass outs.
Plans for NYE23 at Barangaroo are still being developed. You can find more information below and this webpage will be updated regularly with additional information as it becomes available.

Toast to the New Year with some of the city’s best views, decadent menus, and the finest selection of celebratory Champagne.
For this year’s celebrations, previously ticketed vantage points will now be free and non-ticketed.
Entry into Barangaroo Reserve will be subject to capacity and will operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Police and event organisers may close the vantage area at any time for public safety. Once closed it is unlikely that vantage points may re-open for additional crowds.
More information will be provided on this shortly and will be available on this webpage. Sign up to our eNews below to be the first to know more.
