How many times has Sydney celebrated New Year's Eve with fireworks? |
Travel Info When was the first annual display? Travel Tips Syd Howard put on a fireworks display for the opening of the Sydney Opera House in 1973 and was inspired to set fireworks off from the Harbour Bridge on that occassion. It wasn't until Australia's Bicentiennial year, 1988 that the first Sydney Harbour Brdige fireworks display was held. Images were beamed around the world and even featured on the cover of time magazine. I'm pretty sure the fireworks have been an annual event since then... does anybody disagree? Source(s): Looking around the net, although I haven't always lived in Sydney so perhaps someone would be better informed than me. Other Travel Tips I watched it in 1997 so at least 10 years. I'm sure it's much longer, maybe 20 years? Since I've been alive.....too many to count. i was watching tv the other day and im pretty sure it said this year will be its 75th anniversary A Diamond Night in Emerald City鈥? it was in 2004 For as long as I can remember. They may not have always been set off around the Bridge and harbour, but we have always welcomed the new year with pyrotechnics!!!! Remember when we used to have firecracker night around the Queen's birthday holiday? Then some kid blew himself up or some such and they were banned. |
