With dazzling new choreography elements and techniques, the spectacular fireworks in Ras Al Khaimah, which have broken Guinness World Records every year for the last five years, will return with dazzling new choreography elements and techniques. A 4.5km waterfront display between Al Marjan Island and Al Hamra Village will set new records.

Residents and visitors will have two opportunities to watch fireworks. A free public event will offer DJ entertainment, kids' activities, food trucks, and a section for bachelors and families. International artists will perform at a private ticketed event called Soundfest, along with a kids' area and food vendors.
