Burj Khalifa New Year’s Eve Fireworks 2026
About this event
There’s only one countdown in Dubai that the rest of the world watches too. At midnight on 31 December 2026, the Burj Khalifa lights up for New Year with fireworks, lasers and lights running up all 828 metres. If you’re seeing in 2027 in Dubai, Downtown is the place to be.
What to expect
Downtown Dubai fills up hours before midnight. Ticketed viewing areas such as Burj Park have their own entry, food and facilities. Free public viewing zones are set up around the area, and roads close from the afternoon. Emaar hasn’t announced the full 2026 programme and ticket prices yet, so we’ll update this listing as soon as they’re out.
