Edinburgh’s Hogmanay will return to light-up the city and show the world how to party into 2025!
Join revellers from around the globe at incredible events featuring spectacular live music concert, unforgettable fireworks, Street Party extravaganzas and free New Year’s Day family events.
Edinburgh’s Hogmanay Festival dates back to 1993 and has evolved to become one of the greatest outdoor celebrations of New Year’s Eve in the world. Hogmanay is technically just one day but the Hogmanay celebration in Edinburgh (as well as in other places in Scotland) lasts for 3 or 4 days. In any normal year the big events include a torchlight procession, a massive outdoor street party, a live headline concert and fireworks, and free culture trail across the city - and of course immediately after midnight on New Year's Eve it is traditional for the thousands of revellers to join hands and sing Robert Burns‘ “Auld Lang Syne”.. before continuing to party into the wee hours.
