Here's where to watch New Year's fireworks in Toronto to ring in 2026

With 2025 quickly coming to an end, it's safe to say you're probably starting to look for places to celebrate and catch the fireworks displays happening across the city.

A good NYE party never hurts, but if you're thinking of skipping the club this year and opting instead for an outdoor gathering, complete with a solid fireworks show, there are plenty of spots around Toronto where you can do just that.

Here's where to watch New Year's fireworks in Toronto to ring in 2026.

Harbourfront Centre

The City of Toronto is bringing its annual New Year's Eve celebration back to the waterfront this year, complete with fireworks and live performances. The festivities will take place from 10 p.m. to midnight.

Location: 235 Queens Quay W.

Distillery District

Toronto's Distillery District will ring in the new year with a fireworks show above Trinity Square, set to take place at midnight.

Location: 55 Mill St.

Sherbourne Common Park

In addition to a fireworks show at midnight, Sherbourne Common will host free dance lessons and performances by circus entertainers from INCIRQUE.

Location: 61 Dockside Dr.

Toronto Music Garden

Short films courtesy of the National Film Board of Canada will be projected onto the Canadian Malting Silos, alongside performances from INCIRQUE. Fireworks begin at midnight.

Location: 476 Queens Quay W.

If you'd rather avoid the crowds gathering at these main destinations, you can still catch the fireworks in full view from quieter nearby spots, complete with an audio broadcast of the show. Sugar Beach, located at 11 Dockside Dr., Harbour Square Park, located at 25 Queens Quay W., and HTO Park, located at 339 Queens Quay W., are all great options for ringing in the new year with a side of fireworks.
