JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will ban fireworks on the New Year's Eve celebration in 2026 in Jakarta. This ban is specifically aimed at private parties that require permits, such as hotels, shopping centers, to entertainment areas.
This was stated by Pramono after holding a meeting with the DKI Provincial Government regarding the preparation of the 2026 New Year's Eve celebration in Jakarta which has changed from the preparation of the initial concept.
"The concentration for the new year, which we originally planned to have fireworks and so on, in the meeting I had decided for the entire Jakarta region, which was held by the government and private parties, we asked for no fireworks," said Pramono at the DKI Jakarta City Hall, Monday, December 22.
This ban will be set through a circular letter from the Secretary of the DKI Jakarta Regional Government. Pramono emphasized that the prohibition of fireworks during the New Year's Eve celebration was necessary as a form of Jakarta's empathy for areas that are currently facing hydrometeorological disasters such as floods and landslides.
Pramono hopes that private parties will refrain from celebrating New Year's Eve with excessive festivity and euphoria. Although, no sanctions will be imposed on those who later violate this circular.
"Of course, if the SE Sekda has come out, people will obey it. But I'm sorry, this time I didn't hold a raid for that. Because we are welcoming the new year, don't make people unhappy," said Pramono.
In addition, Pramono also appealed to the public not to launch fireworks when celebrating New Year's Eve 2026, both at their respective residences and those who attended the event organized by the DKI Provincial Government.
Pramono ensured that the New Year's Eve celebration 2026 at all locations held by the DKI Provincial Government would be accompanied by inter-religious prayers. This activity is a symbol of empathy for the disaster that occurred in Sumatra and other areas.
It is planned that there will be eight celebration points for the New Year's Eve in Jakarta, namely HI Roundabout, Taman Lapangan Banteng, the Old City area, and the offices of the mayors of North Jakarta, Central Jakarta, West Jakarta, East Jakarta, and South Jakarta. HI Roundabout is the main point for the New Year's Eve celebration.
"So there is a prayer together for all religions by ustaz or habaib. What is clear, all religions will be there, because what happens to us all concerns all religions," he explained.
