Dubai, UAE – Emaar is set to redefine global New Year’s Eve celebrations with an unprecedented, week-long extravaganza that will turn Downtown Dubai into a sprawling, open-air stage. For the first time, festivities will extend beyond the traditional midnight countdown, running from 31 December to 7 January and giving residents and visitors eight days of continuous spectacle.
This year’s celebration spans multiple iconic sites—from the Burj Khalifa Lake and Dubai Mall promenade to the façade of Burj Khalifa and the skies above—ensuring every vantage point offers a close-up experience of the show’s full scale. Audiences will be immersed in a citywide display of live performances, dramatic visual effects, moving platforms, aerial displays, fireworks and state-of-the-art technology, creating a multi-sensory production designed to captivate from every angle.
Once again, Burj Park will serve as one of Dubai’s most sought-after viewing destinations. Guests will enjoy a premium, crowd-free environment with uninterrupted views of the Burj Khalifa’s world-famous fireworks, laser displays and live performances. The dedicated venue offers added comfort and atmosphere for those seeking an elevated celebration away from the city’s large gatherings, while maintaining the open-access spirit of Downtown Dubai’s wider festivities.
For 2025, Burj Park adds an exclusive entertainment layer through a new partnership with Frontstage, part of Red Chilies Entertainment—the acclaimed production house founded by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The collaboration will bring high-energy performances, Bollywood artistry and a cinematic flair available only to ticketholders. Families will also benefit from live entertainment, children’s workshops and a variety of food trucks and stalls, supported by streamlined access via pre-issued entry badges.
Emaar’s 2025 production aims to surpass all previous New Year’s Eve events in the region, blending tradition with innovation to celebrate Dubai’s evolution as a global capital of creativity and entertainment. Each moment of the show has been crafted to surprise, delight and leave a lasting impression on millions watching in person and online.
Mohamed Alabbar, Founder of Emaar, said: “This New Year’s Eve, Dubai will become a stage of extraordinary wonder. We are creating a celebration on a scale never seen before—every performance, every light and every spectacle reflects the ambition and imagination of our city. It will be a night for the world to witness and remember.”
A grand parade will add to the excitement, featuring colossal floats, captivating performers and striking puppets that embody Dubai’s cultural heritage and forward-looking vision. Moving through Downtown Dubai, the parade will offer an additional layer of entertainment and immersion.
While full details of the performance remain confidential, organisers have confirmed the show’s unprecedented scale. The cinematic, multi-sensory experience will be broadcast globally via live stream, transforming Downtown Dubai into a living canvas celebrating the city’s past, present and future.

Entry for children under five is complimentary, though a reserved ticket is required for their access badge. All attendees must secure their tickets online in advance.
This New Year’s Eve, Emaar invites the world to witness a historic celebration—one that showcases Dubai’s limitless ambition, creativity and dedication to crafting unforgettable global moments.
