Get you tickets!
In the Netherlands there is no better place to celebrate New Year's Eve than in Rotterdam Centre! With the largest and most spectacular fireworks show there is, you will start the new year with a bang.
On December 31st, the festivities will (still) kick off in Rotterdam! Traditionally, the new year will be heralded with the National Fireworks: the largest fireworks display in the Netherlands above the Erasmus Bridge. For over 15 years, this spectacular show has been a fixture both inside and outside the city, featuring impressive eco-fireworks. Come watch, enjoy, and ring in the new year in a festive way only Rotterdam can!
This year, music will play earlier in the evening, starting at 10:30 PM, so you can get in the mood before midnight. Additional screens and audio will also be installed on the quays so everyone can enjoy the show. And this year, the National Fireworks will take place during the Rotterdam Warme Winter Weeks. A fusion of warmth and light that makes our city shine!
"It's extra special that the National Fireworks at the Erasmus Bridge is also taking place during the Rotterdam Warm Winter Weeks. Together, we bring light and warmth to the heart of the city, especially at a time when looking out for one another is so important. The winter parade shows how Rotterdammers—young, old, from all backgrounds—can connect in a safe, well-lit environment. With lights, reflective clothing, and additional lighting in the city centre, we'll create not only ambiance but also visibility, safety, and energy until January 4th. Light connects, light empowers, and just like fireworks, it makes us a little happier. That's why we're doing this together - for and with the city." These are the words of both organizations, who are joining forces.
Unfortunately, there will be no National Children's Fireworks this year. We hope of course that next year's edition can go ahead, but more about that at the end of next year!
