Toronto New Years Eve 2024

Guide to new years eve in Toronto. Top fireworks, parties and hotels for NYE 2023-2024

The focus of the new years eve celebrations in Toronto is the city's iconic Nathan Phillips Square, where crowds gather to see in the new year with live entertainment and a spectacular fireworks display at midnight. Sadly, this year, there won't be a celebration at Nathan Phillips Square, but there will, thankfully, still be fireworks, so get yourself a view of downtown's inner harbour for the illuminations!

Elsewhere in the city, there is a great range of NYE events to choose from, with top hotel parties and harbour cruises among the most popular options.

Nathan Phillips Square NYE Party

(Sadly, the party isn't going ahead this year, but thankfully there will be fireworks down at the watefront at Sherbourne Common, Toronto Music Garden and Harbour Square Park - more details here) People tend to head down to Nathan Phillips Square for the biggest new years eve party in Toronto. This is a free, family friendly event that gets underway from 8pm in the evening and draws a huge crowd to watch the live musical performances and of course the dramatic fireworks show come midnight.

As well as the music there is also a large ice rink in the square for those who like to skate their way into the new year, while the area also hosts numerous food and drinks trucks to keep the crowds adequately fed and watered as they wait for midnight to arrive.

Jubilee Queen NYE Harbour Cruise

Many people choose to take to the water for their new years eve party, and with it's harbour setting, Toronto offers a great selection of new year cruises.
