Hogmanay Festival

Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations are held in the capital city of Scotland, Edinburgh, to observe Hogmanay, the Scottish celebration of the New Year. The event originally started as an informal street party focused on the Tron Kirk but has since been officially organized with the focus shifted to Princes Street. The celebrations typically cover four days of processions, concerts, and fireworks, with the street party beginning on Hogmanay, and alternative tickets available for entrance into the Princes Street Gardens concert and Céilidh. The Edinburgh Hogmanay celebrations are among the largest in the world, with a record 400,000 people in attendance in 1996-97. The celebration includes a major street party along Princes Street, a cannon fired at Edinburgh Castle at midnight, and a large fireworks display.learn more on wikipedia
