In addition to inevitable New Year’s Eve at Sava Promenada, for which it has become recognizable throughout Europe and the world, Belgrade Waterfront is also preparing a unique drone spectacle for visitors, as well as a rich programme within the Winter Fairy Tale, hotels, restaurants and bars. Whichever corner of Belgrade Waterfront you choose for New Year’s Eve, you won’t go wrong, because you will enter 2026 in style!
Sava Promenada, the central New Year scene of Belgrade
Sava Promenada, the most visited open-air stage in the region, is becoming the main venue of New Year’s party this year as well. Thousands of visitors will gather on the Sava riverbank, where the atmosphere will be warmed by concerts of popular performers, such as Senidah, Aleksandra Radović, Goca Tržan and Boban&Marko Marković Trumpet Orchestra.
Before midnight, a special New Year’s projection will be broadcast on facade of Kula, the highest building in Serbia and region, with the traditional countdown of the last ten seconds. At midnight exactly, the river will be illuminated by a large fireworks, and this year’s visual spectacle will be completed by an impressive drone show. Hundreds of drones will form light motifs in the sky in synchronized choreography, bringing the modern international trends to the Serbian capital.
Family holiday in the Winter Fairy Tale
While Sava Promenada brings the energy of a big celebration, Sava Park offers a slightly different, more secluded version of New Year’s Eve.
The Winter Fairy Tale is an ideal place for families, children and visitors who want more intimate celebration, with a surprise performer who will perform on the stage in the park. In an ambiance like those from holiday movies, with mulled wine and a romantic ice rink, vistors to the Winter Fairy Tale will also have a view of the fireworks over the Sava, so this evening will surely remain in their memories for a long time.
Midnight in the sign of glamour
Guests who decide to welcome the New Year in Belgrade Waterfront will be able to enjoy lavish celebrations in the luxury hotels The Bristol Belgrade and The St. Regis Belgrade.
A full-day programme has been prepared at The Bristol Belgrade for December 31. The day starts with matinee in the festively decorated atrium of the hotel, while the evening part will be marked by a gala dinner for a glamourous entry into 2026, with carefully selected specialties and a festive atmosphere.
The St. Regis Belgrade, one of the world’s most prestigious hotel brands, brings a sophisticated New Year’s experience. Guests of the Savant restaurant will enter the New Year with live music, a superb gastronomic experience and a view of the pyrotechnic and drone spectacle „from the front row“.

Restaurants in Belgrade Waterfront and Galerija are preparing holiday menus and New Year’s parties, and visitors who welcome 2026 in one of the restaurants in this part of the city will be able to enjoy fireworks and a drone show from close range. Thanks to the location along the river and the view of Kula Belgrade, vistors will enjoy a sight that cannot be experienced anywhere else in the city.
