Jamaicans can bid farewell to 2024 and ring in 2025 in style, as the Urban Development Corporation (UDC) presents the 21st staging of the UDC Fireworks Festival on December 31.

The highly anticipated event is set to take place simultaneously at three locations: Ocho Rios Bay Beach in St. Ann, the Kingston Waterfront, and Harmony Beach Park in Montego Bay.

This year’s fireworks festival will be held under the theme Life, Love and Harmony. The festivities are set to begin at midday and will feature a Kiddies Village, a skills expo and wellness lounge.

At nightfall the concert will take centre stage, featuring Jamaica’s finest talents including Chalice, Gramps Morgan, Mortimer, Joby J, Samory I, Alaine, AJ Brown, Janeel Mills, Papa Michigan, Kevin Downswell, HUMBLE, Sista Patt, Lubert Levy, and Levys Heritage.

An added element to this year’s staging of the festival is an interactive connection with all three locations through cameras. Additionally, when the clock strikes midnight, the fireworks display will include a drone show, initiating the start of the new year.
