Berlin’s traditions surrounding the turn of the year create a unique atmosphere full of anticipation and a sense of community.

Will there be New Year’s Eve fireworks in Berlin this year?
For many years, the New Year’s Eve celebrations at the Brandenburg Gate were among the largest in the world. Every year at midnight, spectacular fireworks light up the sky, creating a special highlight. For more than ten years, ZDF organised the New Year’s Eve show ‘Welcome 20xx’ at the Brandenburg Gate.
This year, however, there will be a new concept for the celebrations. In addition to the traditional fireworks, there will be a DJ party and a large demonstration. On New Year’s Eve, Pariser Platz will become Berlin’s largest dance floor: around 20,000 people will be able to welcome in the new year there. Admission is free, but those interested must reserve tickets online from December onwards.
