The real showstopper, however, is the grand display of fireworks set to illuminate the Hatta skies on New Year’s Eve. Just before the clock strikes midnight on December 31, the iconic Hatta sign will come alive in a dazzling dance of lights beneath a canopy of colors.

For those eager to catch more of the fireworks, sessions are scheduled at 8 p.m. every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until the festival’s grand finale on December 31st.

Beyond the fireworks shows, the Hatta Festival offers many activities to keep everyone entertained. From cultural experiences to family-friendly games, there’s something for every taste.
