Dallas, Texas- November 12, 2025— For many DFW residents, NYE at Reunion Tower is an annual tradition. Residents plan to stay with friends or family at a local hotel so they can enjoy the show without having to travel. As Reunion Tower marks its 10th annual New Year’s Eve celebration, this year’s theme, “The Most Colorful Year Yet”, promises to deliver a stunning, one-of-a-kind experience to welcome 2026 in true Texas style at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025.

This celebration is a gift to the city from Hunt Realty Investments and introduces a new spectrum of vibrant colors, with each musical selection tied to a color in its title or artist name. This year’s show features an expanded display with over 5,000 pyrotechnic effects launched from Reunion Tower, a stunning 259-LED light show, and 500 drones taking to the sky, some even carrying pyrotechnics. DFW-based Sky Elements, finalists on America’s Got Talent and holders of multiple Guinness World Records, return to bring their innovative drone performances to the Dallas skyline, flying independently to form intricate, high-flying imagery. Complementing the drones, Pyrotecnico delivers signature kinetic pyrotechnics, including comets, mines, waterfalls, bombettes, crossettes, and zipper sequences that ripple around Reunion Tower in dramatic “chases” and waves, providing a spectacle unlike anything Dallas has seen before.

“We are excited to celebrate a decade of Lone Star NYE at Reunion Tower with a show that truly captures the energy and spirit of Dallas,” said Dusti Groskreutz, President of Reunion Tower. “This year, every element, from the colors to the music, the drones to the fireworks, has been designed to surprise and delight viewers. Our goal is to create an experience that will stay with everyone long after the last firework fades, in a way to honor the past ten years and set the tone for an even brighter 2026.”

 

To ensure everyone can experience the spectacle, Reunion Tower’s Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube channels will live stream the entire event, allowing viewers from around the world to join the celebration.
