Dubai is set to redefine New Year’s Eve celebrations with an unprecedented eight-day festival, announced by Emaar on November 24, 2025. For the first time, the festivities will extend beyond the traditional countdown, running from December 31 to January 7. The heart of the celebrations will be Downtown Dubai, transformed into a sprawling multi-point stage featuring synchronized shows across the Burj Khalifa lake, Dubai Mall promenade, and the iconic tower’s façade. The event promises to be a visual and sensory feast, with live performances, fireworks, light and laser displays, and cutting-edge technology. While the broader celebrations will be free and open to the public, premium front-row access at Burj Park will require ticketed entry. Tickets, priced at Dh997.5 for adults and Dh577.5 for children aged 5–12, are available online. The event will also feature a grand parade showcasing Dubai’s culture through larger-than-life floats, performers, and puppets. Emaar has teased that the full performance lineup remains a surprise, ensuring an unforgettable experience for attendees.
