Welcome 2025 with the traditional NOLA New Year’s Eve midnight fireworks display, the backdrop for all of the exciting New Year's festivities in our great city! Produced by the Crescent City Countdown Club in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Economy and the New Orleans Tourism and Cultural Fund, this internationally acclaimed tradition is a community project made possible by New Orleans & Company, with Allstate Sugar Bowl, The Berger & Tiller Families, French Quarter Festivals, Inc., J & M Displays, WWL 870AM/105.3FM, WWL.com, Magic 101.9, and 18 other dedicated community sponsors.

The spectacular FREE fireworks display along the historic New Orleans Riverfront in downtown New Orleans can be seen from the East and West Banks of the Mississippi River from the Riverwalk Outlets and the Hilton New Orleans Riverside to Crescent Park at the French Market. At the stroke of midnight an intense barrage of colors—including team colors of the Allstate Sugar Bowl contenders, the Georgia Bulldogs and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish—will light up the dark sky! The extraordinary display will feature ten-inch shells that travel 1,000 feet high, then break out across a 1,000-foot span over the Mighty Mississippi. A link to the fireworks music can be found on WWL.com.

Start your New Year’s Eve celebration with the Allstate Sugar Bowl New Year’s Parade, which will roll at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, December 31, through the French Quarter, traveling up Decatur Street along the Mississippi River. Then explore the French Quarter restaurants, bars, shops, museums, and local entertainment venues as we await the greatly anticipated NOLA New Year’s Eve midnight fireworks show! On Wednesday, January 1, catch the 90 th Annual Allstate Sugar Bowl Football Classic with kickoff at 7:45 p.m.

At 9 p.m. head to the stage on Decatur Street at Jackson Square for the New Orleans Eve Concert presented by French Quarter Festivals, Inc. and NewOrleans.com. Rock to live music from Tank and the Bangas, Bonearama, and DJ RQ Away, all leading up to the midnight fleur-de-lis drop and the legendary Crescent City Countdown Club fireworks display.
