With many global cities celebrating differently this year due to Covid-19 -- Auckland's celebrations are expected to draw international interest

Vector Lights on the Harbour Bridge and Sky Tower will bring in the new year with a five-minute lighting show and firework display, coordinated with the Museum and Light Path.

Vector's Sarah Williams says it's pretty special to be able to share Auckland's midnight moment.

She says because the city leads the world in New Year's Eve celebrations, the display tends to gain a lot of attention.
