### New Year’s Eve Fireworks Live Streams
Monitoring New Year’s Eve festivities around the world involves understanding time zones. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) acts as the international benchmark, with each region’s time zone defined as an offset from UTC. For example, London follows UTC+0, aligning perfectly with UTC, while cities like Dubai (UTC+4) celebrate earlier, and New York City (UTC-5) celebrates later.
The worldwide New Year’s Eve journey starts in Kiritimati (UTC+14), a tiny island in Oceania, which first welcomes the new year. It ends in Hawaii (UTC-10), the last place to celebrate. Thanks to live streams, you can track this global festivity as midnight arrives in each area. For an extensive list of international live cams, check out [Earthcam.com](http://Earthcam.com).
