Adelaide is the scene for South Australia's most spectacular fireworks at the public new year’s eve party in Elder Park. Dance to party bands beneath the balmy summer skies and sample a multicultural array of food. For children and the young-at-heart there are amusement rides and special entertainers. At the stroke of midnight, pyrotechnics dance with dazzling force off Victoria Bridge. The city also often hosts new year’s celebrations in the pretty port of Victor Harbor, south of Adelaide, and the seaside town of Beachport, on the Limestone Coast in the state's south-east.
The most popular New Year's Eve events in Adelaide are the Lord mayors Street Party at Elder Park, the Adelaide NYE Fireworks off Victoria Bridge and the New year’s celebrations in the pretty port of Victor Harbor. The Adelaide city centre is the innermost locality of Greater Adelaide, known by locals simply as "The City" or "Town". The locality is split into two key geographical distinctions: the city "square mile", bordered by North, East, South and West Terraces; and that part of the Adelaide Parklands south of the River Torrens which separate the built up part of the city from the surrounding suburbs. The locality is home to the parliament of the state of South Australia and many key state government offices.
Adelaide is separated from its greater metropolitan area by a ring of public parklands on all sides. The square mile within the parklands is defined by a small area of high rise office and apartment buildings in the centre north, around King William Street, which runs north-to-south through the centre. Surrounding this central business district are a large number of medium to low density apartments, townhouses and detached houses which make up the residential portion of the city centre. The layout of Adelaide, known as Light's Vision, features a grid pattern of wide streets and terraces and five large public squares: Victoria Square in the centre of the city, and Hindmarsh, Light, Hurtle and Whitmore Squares in the centres of each of the four quadrants of the Adelaide city centre.
