Al Kout Mall Cancels NYE Fireworks Show

Al Kout Mall has announced the cancellation of its New Year’s Eve fireworks display, attributing the decision to unexpected technical issues that made it unsafe to proceed with the pyrotechnic showcase.

Despite the setback, mall officials confirmed that the remaining New Year’s celebrations and activities will continue as planned, offering visitors an evening of entertainment and festivities to ring in 2026.

In a statement released to the public, Al Kout Mall expressed regret over the cancellation but emphasized that the health and safety of attendees remained the top priority. The mall reassured guests that other scheduled attractions — including live performances, family entertainment, dining experiences and countdown celebrations — would go ahead across its venues.

While the news disappointed many who had been looking forward to the fireworks spectacle, the mall encouraged visitors to enjoy the alternative events lined up throughout the evening. Further updates and schedules for the remaining activities were shared via the mall’s official communication channels to help attendees plan their celebrations.

As revelers continue to flock to entertainment hubs around Kuwait to welcome the New Year, Al Kout Mall’s revised festivities aim to maintain a vibrant atmosphere and ensure a memorable night for all despite the technical hurdle.
