Dubai is going all out this New Year’s Eve, and 2025-26 promises to be bigger and better than ever. Downtown Dubai will transform into a massive entertainment hub full of lights, fireworks, parades, and live performances.

8 Days of Celebration!

For the first time, New Year’s festivities in Downtown Dubai will run for 8 full days, from Wednesday, December 31, 2025, to Wednesday, January 7, 2026. This gives everyone plenty of time to enjoy the action across key locations like the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall promenade, and Burj Lake.

Burj Park Access?

Burj Park returns as a top spot for premium views of the fireworks and laser shows. Tickets grant access to live performances, food trucks, kids’ workshops, and a prime vantage point without the usual city crowds.

Bollywood Twist!?

This year, Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chilies Entertainment joins the celebrations, adding a Bollywood flavor to the event. Families can enjoy fun activities, workshops, and live performances suitable for all ages.

Parade and Performances!

Downtown Dubai will host a grand parade featuring floats, performers, and puppets moving through the streets. Expect aerial stunts, visual effects, and moving platforms — turning the city into a multi-sensory experience.

Free Viewing Spots?

While Burj Park access is ticketed, free public viewing spots will be available across Downtown Dubai on a first-come, first-served basis. LED screens on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard will also broadcast the live entertainment. Restaurants at Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar will announce special NYE packages with views of the Burj Khalifa.
