From Kiribati as the first country to American Samoa at the bottom: The New Year is celebrated all over the world. And thanks to the EarthCam web app, you can watch it live. That means you can watch the world greet the new year every hour.
Of course, the fireworks shows in the big cities are particularly worth seeing. Even if this year they usually take place in a slightly different setting than usual.

Fireworks shows worth seeing in the metropolises
So you can for example order 2 p.m. CET, so ten hours before it’s midnight here, see how Australia celebrates the turn of the year. If the angle of the available EarthCams does not suit you here, you can follow the world-famous fireworks at the Harbor Bridge in front of the Opera House in the official stream or watch it afterwards.
Taiwan is rescheduling 5 p.m. CET fireworks in the metropolis of Taipei. As every year, the pyrotechnics are to be ignited on the city’s landmark, the “Taipei 101” skyscraper.
In the United Arab Emirates, the New Year is set to ring in on a grand scale despite the pandemic. On the tallest building in the world, the 828 meter high Burj Khalifa in Dubai, a spectacular fireworks display including a light and laser show is planned again (CET 9 p.m).
If you still haven’t had enough, we recommend a look at New York. Around 6 a.m. German time usually celebrate millions between the famous neon signs in Manhattan – but the party is likely to be much smaller this year.
Despite everything, New York does not have to do without the famous “Ball Drop” in Times Square this year either. As always, the glowing crystal ball is lowered from a flagpole at midnight. Visitors to the celebration must be fully vaccinated. So there will probably be fewer people watching live on site.
