The Urban Development Corporation (UDC) has confirmed that the Fireworks Festival will return this December 31, 2025.
According to the UDC, this year’s Festival takes on added meaning as it expands to two additional parishes of St Elizabeth and Westmoreland, ensuring that more communities, particularly those hardest hit by the hurricane, can share in the experience.
The decision to proceed with the festival comes against the backdrop of ongoing national recovery efforts.
The UDC says it underscored the importance of creating safe, uplifting spaces where families and communities can come together, reconnect, and usher in the new year with a renewed sense of hope.
The UDC notes that though the government recommended no office parties by ministries, departments and agencies, it endorses activities that will help to lift the spirits of Jamaicans particularly in disaster impacted parishes.
Rather than live performances, emphasis will be on creating welcoming environments where families can gather, enjoy music, and share the moment together as the year comes to an end.
It says the approach will resemble a street party, with well-known DJs curating engaging musical selections leading up to the fireworks display.
