Dubai kicked off 2026 with a spectacular New Year’s Eve celebration featuring fireworks, lasers, drones, and the iconic Dubai Fountain at Burj Khalifa. While the fireworks were a one-night-only event, the stunning laser and fountain show continues nightly until Wednesday, January 7. Visitors and residents who missed the crowded festivities at Burj Park can still enjoy the vibrant displays for free, starting each evening at 8:30pm.
The ongoing show combines synchronized Dubai Fountain performances with state-of-the-art laser and drone visuals, providing a dazzling experience against the backdrop of the world’s tallest tower. Downtown Dubai also hosted a grand parade with floats, performers, and puppets, creating a festive atmosphere throughout the city. This extended celebration offers everyone a chance to witness Dubai’s New Year magic without the New Year’s Eve crowds.
The laser and fountain show at Burj Khalifa is free to watch and accessible to the public every night until January 7, making it a must-see attraction for tourists and residents alike.
