Ras Al Khaimah lights up for Year of the Horse

Ras Al Khaimah will usher in the upcoming Chinese New Year with a spectacular fireworks display on Saturday, February 8, 2026, at 8:00pm, welcoming the auspicious Year of the Horse as part of the 2026 UAE Happy Chinese New Year celebrations.

Free public parking will be available at Jais Parking, located opposite the Al Hamra International Exhibition & Conference Centre, offering a designated area for public viewing of the fireworks. 

The fireworks display will be produced by Jeeton Fireworks Group from Liuyang City, one of China’s leading fireworks companies, presenting the 2026 UAE Happy Chinese New Year showcase in Ras Al Khaimah.

Cascading high-altitude waterfalls and double-layered colourful cloud formations create a dreamy, overlapping effect, while delicate falling colour sequences come together to form a multi-dimensional visual spectacle. 

The show is themed around auspicious motifs including wealth and fulfilment, “Heaven and Earth Rejoice in Spring” representing New Year harmony, and “Good Luck in the Year of the Horse,” reflecting the festive spirit of the zodiac.

The finale is crowned with brocade crown formations, inspired by “Golden Jade Full Hall”, symbolising prosperity, abundance, and good fortune, blending vibrant celebration with rich cultural meaning.

Speaking ahead of the event, Donald Bremner, CEO of Marjan Lifestyle, said: “Chinese New Year is a time of community, optimism, and togetherness - values that resonate strongly with Ras Al Khaimah and with the spirit of the occasion. As we welcome the Year of the Horse, this celebration reflects our commitment to fostering cultural exchange and creating memorable experiences for the entire community to enjoy.”  -TradeArabia News Service
