Fireworks Spectacular Returns to Two Harbours

This New Year’s Eve, Dublin’s coastline will become the canvas for one of the most dazzling displays of the year. The NYF Dublin Fireworks Spectacular returns on Wednesday 31 December 2025, bringing bursts of colour and music to two stunning harbour locations: Howth Harbour and Dún Laoghaire Harbour.

Twin Displays, One Magical Night

At 6:30pm, both harbours will light up simultaneously in choreographed fireworks displays set to music. Families, friends, and festival-goers can enjoy the show from some of the city’s most scenic viewing spots.

In Howth, the display can be enjoyed from Howth Pier Park and along Harbour Road, while Dún Laoghaire offers spectacular vantage points stretching from Sandycove to the heart of Dún Laoghaire Town.

To keep the party atmosphere alive, DJs will provide live entertainment before and after the display, making each harbour a vibrant hub of celebration.
