Gdansk has announced that it’ll organise its New Year’s Eve celebration in 2025. Just like last year, it will be limited to two locations outside the city centre.
New Year’s Eve celebration in Gdansk city centre
None of the two concerts organised by the city will be located in the city centre. But although there will be no official event, many people will come at midnight to Dluga Street and Dlugi Targ to celebrate. There will surely be some private fireworks, and you may bring a bottle of champagne. Although it’s illegal to drink alcohol in public, if you behave, the police are unlikely to give you a fine or bother you
New Year’s Eve in Gdansk in 2025
Concert at the Brzezno Pier
This concert will take place at the recently renovated wooden pier in Brzezno. The New Year’s Eve party starts at 10 p.m. Novika, a singer, composer and radio journalist, will perform here. Mr. Lex (formerly known as Lexus), a representative of the Beats Friendly collective, who often performs with Novika, will also be there. The DJ and radio presenter is known for his electronic and hip-hop music. Both stars will ensure a dance atmosphere filled with electronic and club sounds.
Be prepared for the cold wind blowing from the sea here and wear warm clothes.
Concert in Wilanowski Jar
The New Year’s Eve party in this district is scheduled to start at 10:50 p.m. The star of the New Year’s Eve party will be Natalia Kukulska, a singer, composer and music producer. Anyone in the audience who would like to sing some of her songs with her (which is very likely) can refresh their memory of the lyrics to “Piosenka światłoczuła” (Light-Sensitive Song), “Pół na pół” (Half and Half) or “W biegu” (On the Run).
Getting to the official celebration of New Year’s Eve with public transport
You don’t need to worry about how to get to the New Year’s Eve celebration venue, as there will be special buses and trams running through the city. N0 tram from Lostowice Swietokrzyska will leave every 20 minutes between 11 pm and 4 am. Most night buses running close to the venues will run every 30 minutes instead of every hour.
