New Year’s Eve Fireworks presented by the City of Alexandria

On Wednesday, December 31, join the celebration from 7 p.m. – midnight at Waterfront Park (1 Prince St.). The City is celebrating the end of 2025 with live music, a festive waterfront atmosphere, and two fireworks shows (7:30 p.m. and midnight) to welcome the New Year! 

Swing by DASH’s festive warming bus on Strand St. for a cozy spot to recharge between firework shows, or stop by the Mobile Art Lab to work on a fun and festive craft you can bring home.

• 7:30 p.m.: Evening Fireworks Show

Whether you’re bringing family for the early fireworks or staying up to count down to midnight, this is a great way to celebrate safely and locally with friends and neighbors.

Visitors are encouraged to bike, walk, or take alternative public transportation. For a list of garages and parking lots in the Old Town historic district, visit Where to Park in Old Town.
