New Year's Eve is December 31, the last day of the year. Because midnight arrives first in Kiritimati (UTC+14) and last in Baker Island (UTC−12), the 'new year' spans 26 hours worldwide. Sydney's fireworks are at 13:00 UTC, Times Square drops the ball at 05:00 UTC on January 1.
If you're booking a restaurant or event, most venues release New Year's Eve tickets in early November and sell out by mid-December. Public transport in many cities runs free or extended service after midnight; check your city's schedule a week ahead.
