The Waikiki New Year Fireworks will light up the sky again this year at midnight on January 1, 2025. The fireworks will launch from the “Firing Site,” marked by a yellow circle in the image below.
You can enjoy vistas the show from a number of locations, and among the best are Prince Hotel, Fort DeRussy, Halekulani Hotel, Moana Surfrider, Kuhio Beach, and Queen’s Surf Beach (near Barefoot Beach Café).
