As the year comes to a close, Seattle is preparing for a spectacular New Year’s Eve celebration, anchored by the iconic Space Needle. The event will feature a stunning fireworks display and an innovative drone light show. Scheduled to commence at midnight, the fireworks will light up the Seattle skyline for approximately 8 minutes, coordinated to an array of thematic music, ranging from contemporary hits to classics. Organized by the Space Needle and other local partners, attendees can witness the festivities from various locations around the city, with the best views near the Seattle Center and surrounding areas.
This year, the celebration is incorporated into wider festivities held around the Space Needle, which include a drone show made possible by the FAA’s cooperation and regulations pertaining to GPS communications. Randy Cote, the Chief Marketing Officer for the event’s organizers, remarked, ‘We’re excited to bring this event back to life following the pandemic, and we’re thrilled to incorporate drones into our celebration this year.’ With safety a priority, the celebration will be structured to allow viewers to maintain social distancing, and attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure optimal viewing spots.
People interested in attending can purchase tickets online, which will provide access to the base of the Space Needle. Families and groups are also reminded to dress warmly and prepare for potential weather changes as they come out to celebrate the New Year together. ‘We want everyone to have an unforgettable experience while ensuring everyone’s safety,’ Cote added.
The Seattle New Year’s Eve fireworks are a local tradition that attracts thousands of viewers, and this year promises to deliver an unforgettable night filled with joy, light, and community spirit.
