One of Europe’s biggest open-air NYE parties 

The city of Hamburg invites locals and visitors alike to come and attend this massive open-air party on New Year’s Eve, also known as Silvester. The event sees the Überseequartier in Hamburg turned into one big party area.

A full and varied festival programme, which includes a series of live music performances, light and laser shows, as well as DJ sets, kicks off in the afternoon on December 31 and runs into the early morning hours. And in case party-goers get hungry, food stalls and bars offer local dishes, German beer and more for all budgets.

Of course, it would not be a true New Year’s Eve celebration without a spectacular firework display, which takes place at midnight after the countdown. For environmental and animal welfare reasons, fireworks are heavily restricted, and the official fireworks take place on the waterfront. After the fireworks, the party continues until 3am.

In addition to the entertainment programme, there are also plenty of funfair rides, including the Ferris wheel, which offers unforgettable views over the city. Find out how you can celebrate New Year's Eve like a local!

Some events and attractions are free to attend, but for the renowned party, tickets are already available online! As such, Hamburg’s biggest NYE bash attracts hundreds of thousands of people each year, so be prepared for the crowds. Since many surrounding streets are also closed off during the party, it is recommended to travel via public transport.
