Illuminate PVD New Year’s Eve Celebration and Fireworks Display

As 2025 comes to a close, reflect on the importance of community connection at the 3rd Annual New Year’s Eve Celebration and Illuminate PVD: Fireworks Display, a free, all-ages-friendly event featuring music, food, and fireworks.

All evening, enjoy a DJ and pop-up dance performances on the mainstage, local food trucks, and a heated beverage garden.

Explore the illuminated playground featuring glowing games, swings, and free activities, including face-painting and balloon twisting.

Activities throughout the park will keep you entertained until the fireworks countdown, including a 360° photo booth, roaming performers, PVD Poetry, an enchanted forest with NYE wishing trees, inflatable sculptures, and photo displays.

Official programming wraps up at 9:00 p.m., giving visitors plenty of time to continue celebrating at Providence’s many downtown restaurants, bars, clubs, and hotels.
