Emaar is preparing one of its largest-ever New Year’s Eve productions, announcing an expanded entertainment programme and an upgraded Burj Park experience designed to offer a premium vantage point for Dubai’s globally watched Burj Khalifa fireworks and light show.
The NYE celebration will feature large-scale live acts, visual spectacles, aerial performances, fireworks and advanced staging technologies. Burj Park will once again serve as a controlled, ticketed location for guests seeking an elevated and crowd-free viewing experience, with direct sightlines to Burj Khalifa’s fireworks, laser displays and live entertainment.
Adding a new dimension this year, Burj Park has partnered with Frontstage — a group company of Red Chilies Entertainment, founded by Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan — to introduce Bollywood-led performances and cinematic elements exclusive to ticket holders. Families will also have access to children’s workshops, live entertainment and a curated F&B zone supported by food trucks and retail stalls.
Mohamed Alabbar, founder of Emaar, said: “This New Year’s Eve, Dubai will transform into a stage of extraordinary wonder. We are creating a celebration on an unprecedented scale, with a stage larger than ever before and performances that will astonish and inspire. Every moment, every light and every spectacle has been designed to capture the spirit, creativity and ambition of our city. It will be a night for the world to witness and remember.”
Emaar has also announced the introduction of a grand parade across Downtown Dubai, featuring large-format floats, puppetry displays and themed performers, reinforcing the city’s positioning as a global entertainment and tourism hub.
Burj Park entry is ticketed and now on sale, priced at Dhs950 + VAT for adults and Dhs550 + VAT for children aged 5 to 12. Entry is free for children under five, though prior ticket reservation is required for access badges. All tickets must be booked online in advance.
Emaar says the 2025 production will be its most ambitious to date, with Downtown Dubai being transformed into a multi-sensory stage and livestreamed to millions globally. Full programme details remain under wraps.
