A truly once in a lifetime NYE celebration

There is a massive New Year’s Eve celebration descending on Expo 2020 Dubai, and it’s bringing a new meaning to the phrase “once in a lifetime.”

The New Year’s Eve celebration at Expo 2020 Dubai will run for 13 hours (you heard us) and includes a line-up of internationally acclaimed artists. You can kickstart the New Year with fireworks, festivities and live music – all at the greatest show on earth.

As midnight approaches, there will be sound and light shows plus dazzling pyrotechnics and special effects, including a ball drop at Al Wasl Plaza. Take that, Times Square.
