New Year’s Eve – Ring Around the World
December 31 @ 11:30 pm – January 1 @ 12:30 am
This New Year’s Eve, the second annual Ring around the World will invite bells to resound in an international moment of unity and celebration. At midnight local time on 31 Dec. 2022, bells are set to toll the hour near the international date line with a stirring arrangement of “Auld Lang Syne.”
From Australia to Africa, and from Europe to the Americas, bells will ring in the New Year in a truly global bell ringing event.
Beginning near the International Date Line, the bells will first resound in Bathurst NSW Australia, with the Bathurst War Memorial Carillon and Bathurst Anglican Cathedral Pealing bells, and continue as midnight reaches subsequent time zones. Bathurst is the only location in the world where a carillon, with its fixed bells, is located next to a cathedral, with its own separate set of pealing bells.
On 31 Dec. 2022, head to Kings Parade and find a comfortable spot outdoors to listen to the bells ring in the New Year at midnight. Pack a picnic, bring a mug of cocoa, or sing along as the bells begin to play. Inclement weather? Dress appropriately for the weather in your area. There will be no indoor access at any bell tower.
