New Year celebrations 2014

Dunedin City has celebrated New Year's Eve in the Octagon since 1999 when it became the first city in the world to herald the arrival of the new Millennium. Dunedin's New Year's Eve concert is a family affair, with an alcohol-free zone, live music, fireworks and food trucks, and the countdown to midnight started by the firing of the Robbie Burns cannon and the chiming of the Municipal Chambers clock.
