NYE Concert
The New Year concert in Piazza Plebiscito is a free event organized by the city of Naples. The show, featuring prominent Italian singers and bands, lasts until midnight. After midnight, crowds move to the Castel dell’Ovo waterfront area. Several stages with different styles of music are set up along Via Partenope, Via Caracciolo, and Piazza Vittoria. The Naples waterfront becomes one big outdoor disco for everyone to enjoy!
The magnificent fireworks display is the main highlight of New Year's Eve celebrations in Naples. The pyrotechnic show is held at 1:30 am on January 1 over Castel dell’Ovo. The best areas to view the fireworks are along the waterfront, or at higher elevations, such as the Posillipo area. Many revelers also choose to watch the dazzling displays from cruise ships sailing along the coastline.
