In keeping with our good resolutions, a new year is often synonymous with something new! And with good reason, Brussels is getting ready to welcome 2025 with a spectacular fireworks display in an unprecedented setting. This year, the traditional New Year’s pyrotechnic show leaves the Place des Palais to take place at the foot of the equally emblematic Atomium. Bruxelles Secrète tells you more about this eye-popping light show.
A change of scenery for a sparkling New Year
Get ready to party! On December 31, 2024, all eyes will be on the north of Brussels (and, incidentally, on the sky). The Atomium, a futuristic structure and symbol of the capital, will provide the backdrop for a dazzling sound and light show. From 11pm onwards, the atmosphere will gradually rise thanks to a rousing DJ set, before the sky sets ablaze at midnight before the amazed eyes of the spectators. This change of venue promises not only a breathtaking view of the New Year’s fireworks, but also an incredible experience in the heart of one of the city’s most famous landmarks.
Safety and festivities: a skilfully orchestrated balance for New Year’s fireworks
As the city dresses up for the festivities, the Brussels authorities remind us of the importance of safety ! The use of private fireworks remains strictly forbidden throughout the region. This measure is designed to prevent accidents and ensure that everyone can enjoy the official festivities in peace. The organizers therefore invite the public to gather around the Atomium to celebrate the arrival of 2025 together, in a festive and safe atmosphere! And if you’re ever short of inspiration for your New Year’s Eve celebrations, we’ve put together a great list of places to party in Brussels.
