From December 29, 2026, to January 1, 2027, the Scottish capital will host a series of events including torchlight processions, concerts, a large street festival, and a fireworks display at the foot of the castle. Having lived in Edinburgh since 2012, we&#039;ll explain the program, the traditions, and offer some practical advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Hogmanay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hogmanay is the Scottish New Year. For centuries, it was a more important celebration than Christmas, which only became a public holiday in Scotland in 1958. Even today, January 2nd is a Scottish public holiday, extending the festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its customs remain very much alive, and we also present them in our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/scottish-traditions\/\">Scottish traditions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hogmanay&#039;s program in Edinburgh in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official festival lasts four days. Here are the major events announced for the <a href=\"https:\/\/edwinterfest.com\/hogmanay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Edinburgh&#039;s Hogmanay official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">December 29: the torchlight procession<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Torchlight Procession kicks off the festivities at 6:30 p.m. Thousands of torchbearers will parade through the Old Town, creating a veritable river of fire. You can watch it for free from the route, or purchase a torch to join the procession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">December 30th: the Night Afore party<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On New Year&#039;s Eve, a big concert heats up the atmosphere in Princes Street Gardens. It&#039;s also a great opportunity to enjoy the festivities with fewer crowds than on the 31st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">December 31st: The Street Party and the fireworks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On New Year&#039;s Eve, the city center transforms into a huge street party starting at 8 p.m. The program includes live music, DJs, street performances, and bagpipe players. At midnight, fireworks finally light up Edinburgh Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, a concert is being held in the Princes Street gardens, just below the castle. Both events require tickets: the festival area is closed to the public without one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">January 1st: First Footin&#039;\u2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On New Year&#039;s Day, a free, ticket-free musical trail invites you to discover concerts in various locations throughout the city. It&#039;s a gentle way to start the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hogmanay traditions you should know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first-footing: the first person to cross the threshold after midnight brings good luck for the year. They traditionally arrive with a small gift, such as coal, shortbread, or whisky.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Auld Lang Syne: at midnight, we sing this poem by Robert Burns while holding hands, arms crossed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>End-of-year cleaning: traditionally, the house is cleaned before midnight, to start the year on a clean slate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stonehaven fireballs: on the northeast coast, residents twirl flaming balls in the streets at midnight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our tips for a successful Hogmanay in Edinburgh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Book well in advance, as Street Party tickets and city centre accommodation sell out quickly. Ideally, choose accommodation within walking distance: on the evening of the 31st, traffic is very restricted in the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding the weather, pack warm and waterproof clothing, as you&#039;ll be outside for several hours. Temperatures are often between 1 and 7\u00b0C, with wind. Also, consult our guide to... <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/climate-scotland\/\">climate in Scotland<\/a> before packing your suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, keep in mind that many restaurants and attractions close on January 1st and 2nd. So book your tables in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do in Edinburgh around Hogmanay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideally, arrive a few days before Christmas Eve. This way you&#039;ll be able to enjoy the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/edinburgh-christmas-market\/\">Edinburgh Christmas Market<\/a>, open until January 3rd, and city illuminations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the rest of your stay, find our sightseeing ideas in our guide to learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/things-to-do-in-edinburgh\/\">What to do in Edinburgh<\/a>. Since the days are short in winter, start early: the sun sets around 3:45 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"brightside-cta-devis\" style=\"background:#faf8f0;border-left:4px solid #384229;border-radius:6px;padding:24px;margin:32px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:1.2em;font-weight:700;color:#1b1f13\">Fancy a trip to Scotland?<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;color:#1b1f13\">Our team, based in Edinburgh since 2012, designs your tailor-made itinerary and accompanies you throughout your stay.<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/request-a-quote\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#384229;color:#ffffff;font-weight:600;padding:14px 24px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none\">Get my free quote<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions about Hogmanay in Edinburgh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will Hogmanay take place in Edinburgh in 2026?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The festival runs from December 29, 2026 to January 1, 2027. The Street Party and fireworks display take place on December 31. Before Hogmanay, also enjoy the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/christmas-markets-scotland\/\">Christmas markets in Scotland<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need a ticket to Hogmanay in Edinburgh?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes to the Street Party and the concert on December 31st. The torchlight procession, however, can be viewed for free, and the musical route on January 1st is free to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you see the fireworks without a ticket?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, from several elevated viewpoints, such as Calton Hill, which many locals gather at midnight. Arrive early, however, as access may be restricted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Hogmanay in Edinburgh suitable for children?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The torchlight procession and daytime concerts are very popular with families. The Street Party, however, which is very crowded and goes on late into the night, is more suited to adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Celebrate New Year&#039;s in Scotland with Brightside Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our team lives in Edinburgh and knows Hogmanay well.
