Dubai is dialling up the sparkle for New Year 2026 and how! Downtown is set to transform into a party venue, with 8 days of celebration starting from 31 December to 7 January.
Each night, expect dazzling fireworks, immersive light and laser shows, live performances, aerial displays, and visual spectacles across the Burj Khalifa Lake and the Dubai Mall promenade.
That’s not all! A grand parade will wind through Downtown with illuminated puppets, massive floats, and performers celebrating the city’s vibrancy. Families can also enjoy workshops, food-truck zones, and roaming entertainment.
For a premium NYE experience, Burj Park is back with ticketed access, offering Bollywood-inspired performances in collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment, uninterrupted views of the fireworks, and a full festive atmosphere.
Tickets are priced at Dhs950 for adults, Dhs550 for children aged 5 to 12, and free for those under 5. If you’d rather skip the ticketed scene, don’t worry, the shows are visible for free from public viewing areas around Downtown.
With lights, sound, spectacle, and joy unfolding across a full week, this is more than just a countdown; it’s Dubai turning into a stage for the world.
