Ras Al Khaimah To Host The Largest Fireworks Display Ever For New Year’s Eve Celebration

Ras Al Khaimah is preparing to dazzle the globe with its most impressive New Year’s Eve celebration yet. The event aims to set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title by launching the largest firework ever. This year's theme draws inspiration from symbols of strength and renewal, reflecting Ras Al Khaimah's spirit of progress.

The festival, held at Al Hamra, invites residents and tourists to enjoy the midnight show. It offers live entertainment, food trucks, and carnival-style activities for families starting at 2:00 pm. To ensure smooth access, several parking zones are available around the festival area, including a special zone for caravans and camping.

This year’s 15-minute display will be one of the world's largest fireworks shows. It will cover six kilometres from Marjan Island to Al Hamra. Over 2,300 drones, including pyro and laser types, will create stunning formations in the sky. As midnight approaches, the event will climax with the launch of the biggest single firework ever seen.

Ras Al Khaimah's New Year’s Eve programme includes two fireworks displays. The first occurs above Corniche Al Qawasim at 8:00 pm. At midnight, a signature 15-minute show combines advanced pyrotechnics with large-scale drone formations over Marjan Island and Al Hamra bay.

This year’s festival stage will feature an exciting lineup of international talent. Attendees must register their vehicles in advance at www.raknye.com for access to preferred parking zones and to receive essential entry and exit information. Vehicle registration is mandatory and determines accessible parking zones.

Audiences can experience the record-setting fireworks display live via streaming on www.raknye.com and @visitrasalkhaimah social media channels on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. With 13 GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ titles achieved over seven years, Ras Al Khaimah remains a top destination for New Year’s Eve spectacles.
