What is the name of the annual New Year's Eve fireworks event at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai?

The annual New Year's Eve fireworks event at Dubai's Burj Khalifa is known as Emaar New Year's Eve.

Emaar New Year's Eve is named for Emaar Properties, the developer associated with the Burj Khalifa and the surrounding Downtown Dubai development. The celebration uses the skyscraper as a giant illuminated surface, combining fireworks, LED displays, and choreographed visual effects.

The Burj Khalifa opened in 2010 and stands 828 meters tall to its architectural top. Its height and central location have made it a natural focal point for Dubai's global New Year's broadcast and tourist celebrations.

The program's exact format changes: some years emphasize fireworks, while others add lasers, music, projection, or live performances. This is why the event may be described informally as the Burj Khalifa fireworks, even though Emaar New Year's Eve is the branded event name. Dubai's National Day celebrations are separate events held on December 2.
