New Year's Day 2100, 2101 and onwards

New Year’s Day Australia : January 1

New Year’s Day in Australia is celebrated on January 1 each year. It is a public holiday in every state and territory. When January 1 falls on a weekend, the following Monday is an additional public holiday: New Year’s Day 2028 is a Saturday, so Monday 3 January 2028 is a public holiday everywhere. In Tasmania the holiday moves to that Monday and the Saturday itself is not a public holiday.

The celebrations for New Year’s Day actually start on New Year’s Eve when people come together and remember the past year and prepare for the countdown to the New Year. At midnight bottles of champagne are popped to toast the New Year, fireworks are lit and people hug and kiss to wish each other a Happy New Year. See below the dates of New Year’s Day in Australia for this year and the following years.
