Tickets to the festivities are now on sale.
2026 is almost upon us, and in Dubai, that can only mean one thing—the infamous Burj Khalifa New Year fireworks. Residents and visitors flock to this hip and happening location to catch all the action live on 31 December, bringing crowds and traffic. But like last year, the New Year fireworks at Burj Khalifa are going to be ticketed.
For the first time, the entire Downtown district becomes part of the show. The production will unfold across Burj Khalifa Lake, the Dubai Mall promenade, the full façade of Burj Khalifa and the sky above, so every guest feels close to the action. Wherever you stand, there will be something to hold your gaze, from live performances and elevated platforms to aerial acts, pyrotechnics and advanced visual technology. The result is a fully immersive experience that wraps the city in light, sound and movement.
At the heart of it all, Burj Park returns as one of Dubai’s most coveted New Year viewing spots. With direct views of Burj Khalifa’s legendary fireworks, light and laser displays, along with live performances throughout the night. Adding to the excitement, Burj Park will introduce a new cinematic dimension through a special collaboration with Frontstage, a group company of Red Chilies Entertainment, the global production powerhouse founded by Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan. Guests can expect high-energy performances, signature Bollywood flair and exclusive moments created only for Burj Park ticket holders. Families are also catered for, with live entertainment, children’s workshops, a line-up of food trucks and stalls, and smooth access via pre-sized entry badges.
A grand parade will add even more theatre to the night, with towering floats, captivating performers and oversized puppets that reflect Dubai’s culture, energy and forward-looking vision. Moving through Downtown Dubai, it offers another layer of spectacle in a programme already rich with visual and emotional highlights.
Tickets for the New Year fireworks at Burj Khalifa are now on sale and must be booked online in advance. Adult tickets are priced at AED 950 plus VAT, while children aged five to 12 can attend for AED 550 plus VAT. Entry is complimentary for children under five, but a ticket is still required to issue an access badge.
It’s time to welcome 2026 in style.
