Major cities cancel NYE events over security concerns – what are they?
Major New Year’s Eve events around the world have been canceled for security reasons amid rising terror threats.
Cities began canceling their celebrations following the FBI’s announcement that it had thwarted a terror plot planned for Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. Here is a breakdown of major cities that have canceled events and why.
While the main fireworks event at Sydney’s Opera House went ahead, in light of the Hanukkah Bondi terror attack, the NYE celebration at Bondi Beach did not.
“Due to the current situation on the ground, Waverley Council has decided to cancel New Year’s Eve events at Bondi Beach, including elrow XXL Bondi and Local’s Lawn,” organizers at Waverley Council told Sky News.
I’d read about the cancellations, but, the notion that there was concern about Islamic jihadis let into Australia by the government being the root cause was never mentioned.
Paris canceled its massive annual New Year’s Eve live concert at the Champs-Élysées due to security concerns. However, large crowds were still expected, as well as a fireworks display at midnight and a video projection on the Arc de Triomphe.
France’s Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced he is tightening security and is employing 90,000 police officers and gendarmes across the country to ensure the celebrations remain safe.
Probably all those farmers upset over climate scam crap, right?
Cancellations in Tokyo, though, are not unusual, and have happened since 2019, with Islamic or other terrorism just a general concern. Mostly it’s too many people and too much alcohol.
The Mayor of Belgrade, Aleksandar Šapi?, announced the cancellation of both the New Year’s Eve celebration and the Serbian New Year’s celebration on account of security reasons.
Back to Islamists
While celebrations were not canceled, the city enforced a 10 p.m. curfew for everyone under 18 who is unaccompanied by an adult. It is also urged people to stay alert, be aware of their surroundings, and report anything suspicious.
Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies also released a threat assessment last week warning that Chicago’s New Year’s Eve fireworks celebration at Navy Pier was “an attractive target for both foreign terrorists and domestic extremists.”
Now, would that be from all the Islamists or from the Central and South American illegal alien gang members who’ve settled in Chicago?
There have been myriad terror attacks on New Year’s eve in the past.
Most recently was the vehicle-ramming and shooting attack in the early hours of New Year’s Day 2025 on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter, a major New Year’s celebration area.
Well, that was an Islamic terrorist, and New Orleans has installed stanchions that rise up in the area to protect against people, meaning Islamists, driving into the area.

Many of us have a way of taking the oceans for granted. A place to surf, perhaps, or to enjoy other water sports, or simply admire while sitting on the beach. Those who make their livings in far harsher ocean conditions would feel rather differently, however, and so do climate scientists, who warn that the Atlantic Ocean could reach a critical point from which it’s going to be impossibly difficult to recover. Though we often think of the ocean as separate and distinct from life on land, the thing to remember is that about 71% of the planet is covered in water, the vast majority of which is ocean water. The Atlantic Ocean, the second largest on Earth, covers 41.1 million square miles, about one-fifth of the surface of the planet. This is why
