Ras Al Khaimah is set to captivate the world with its most spectacular New Year’s Eve celebration to date, promising the biggest fireworks ever launched in an attempt to set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title.
This year’s celebrations will feature a creative concept inspired by symbols of strength, renewal, and Ras Al Khaimah’s spirit of progress.
Fusing innovative fireworks with a dazzling display of illuminated drones and lasers, the show will transform the night sky into a breathtaking stage where light, colour, and stunning visuals unfold on an unprecedented scale.
The 15-minute show will feature one of the most expansive fireworks displays globally, stretching across six kilometres from Marjan Island to Al Hamra. In addition, over 2,300 drones, including pyro and laser drones, will light up the sky with breathtaking formations. As the clock strikes midnight, the celebrations will culminate with the launch of the largest single firework ever seen.
Ras Al Khaimah’s New Year’s Eve programme features two fireworks displays. The first fireworks show will take place above Corniche Al Qawasim at 8pm. At midnight, the emirate’s signature 15-minute show takes centre stage, combining advanced pyrotechnics with large-scale drone formations over Marjan Island and Al Hamra bay.
Taking place at Al Hamra, Ras Al Khaimah New Year’s Eve Festival will welcome residents and visitors to witness the midnight spectacle with a line-up of live entertainment, food trucks, and carnival-style activities for the whole family running from 2pm.
This year’s festival stage features an exciting lineup of international talent. To ensure seamless access to the festivities, multiple parking zones are available around the festival area, with a dedicated zone for caravans and camping.
Event goers are required to register their vehicles in advance for access to their preferred parking zone and to receive essential information on entry and exit routes.
Audiences can also witness the record-setting fireworks display in real time via the live stream.
