Where are the best New Year's Eve fireworks in Uganda?

In Uganda, Kampala is the go-to place for New Year's Eve fireworks displays, with some of the biggest and most vibrant shows happening at popular locations like Sheraton Kampala Hotel and Kampala Serena Hotel. Both hotels host lively celebrations with countdowns, live music, and spectacular fireworks at midnight. 

Another great spot is Acacia Mall in the upscale neighborhood of Kololo, which organizes fireworks displays along with a festive atmosphere filled with food, music, and holiday lights. For a scenic lakeside celebration, Entebbe’s waterfront area often features fireworks, and its location along Lake Victoria provides a beautiful backdrop. Visitors planning to join these celebrations should ensure they apply for a Ugandan visa in advance, as New Year’s Eve attracts large crowds eager to enjoy the festivities. Arriving early is also key to securing a good spot and making the most of the vibrant holiday spirit.
