Bahrain welcomed 2026 in spectacular style last night with dazzling fireworks lighting up the kingdom’s skies, visible from eight landmark locations.
The grand display marked the finale of the latest season of Celebrate Bahrain, the annual cultural festival organised by the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority (BTEA).
This year’s event was themed ‘Live Every Moment’ and showcased the kingdom’s vibrant cultural heritage, world-class entertainment and other diverse experiences.
As the countdown to midnight began, residents and citizens excitedly turned to the skies to watch the fireworks, which have become an annual tradition in the kingdom and around the world.
The sky glittered with dazzling fireworks at the stroke of midnight near The Avenues Bahrain, Bahrain World Trade Centre, Bahrain Harbour, Seef District, Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, Manama between Shaikh Hamad Causeway and Shaikh Isa bin Salman Causeway, Bahrain Bay beach and Marassi Al Bahrain.
A drone show at Bahrain Bay also amped up the excitement for the scores of spectators who attended the much-awaited event.
“New Year’s Eve celebrations are an annual event within Bahrain’s festive season calendar, and are being developed gradually to align with the tourism sector’s objectives and visitors’ expectations,” BTEA chief executive Sarah Buhiji noted.
