New Year's Eve Fireworks

Join the City of Yellowknife's annual New Year's Eve fireworks display on December 31 at Frame Lake, with a safety map highlighting the best viewing spots and restricted areas to ensure a safe and enjoyable celebration. Residents are invited to gather at Somba K'e Civic Plaza as the city's fireworks light up the night sky. Important safety reminders include avoiding the fireworks area and staying clear of the site until January 1, allowing crews to complete a daylight inspection. Leave pets at home to ensure a fun and worry-free experience for everyone. Plan your viewing spot using our map and get in touch with us through email or phone if you have any questions or need further information on this free public event.
