Previously, the Governor of DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung emphasized that the DKI Provincial Government would not hold a fireworks festival to celebrate New Year's Eve 2026 in Jakarta. In fact, Pramono decided to reduce the number of new year's eve celebration points.
Initially, the DKI Provincial Government prepared 14 entertainment and stage points during the New Year's Eve.
Now, the location has only been decided in 8 points. This was decided by Pramono as a form of empathy from the government and residents of Jakarta to victims of flood and landslide disasters in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra, which are still shrouded in grief.
"In terms of the location points that were previously prepared for 14 points, it was finally decided to be 8 points. From the main points that have been a tradition in Jakarta, there are some that have been reduced, including Monas," said Pramono at the DKI Jakarta City Hall, Monday, December 22.
The eight points are HI roundabout, Lapangan Banteng Park, Old Town 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 of the New Year's Eve celebration.
Pramono also banned fireworks on New Year's Eve 2026 in Jakarta for private parties that require permits, such as hotels, shopping centers, and entertainment areas.
"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," he explained.
