The unique combination of light and fireworks, that’s Electric Fireworks. The place to be to ring in the new year, to ground ourselves together in 2025 – the 750th anniversary year of the city of Amsterdam. One place to come together as all “Amsterdammers”, to begin a new adventure together. One beautiful moment of connection.
We celebrate the new year with an extensive program. Earlier in the evening (19:00 PM), the celebration kicks off with a special edition for children: Electric Fireworks Junior. From 10:30 PM, the pre-party begins, a celebratory warm-up for the New Year’s Eve celebration! Of course, at 11:50 PM, the spectacular countdown begins, the moment to count down to 2025. Exactly at 00:00 AM, the party comes to a high, and we ring in the new year with Electric Fireworks.
Also in Nieuw-West, people will be able to enjoy a spectacular, sustainable, traditional fireworks show at Sloterplas this year!
Electric Fireworks and the show at Sloterplas are freely accessible
