Shows galore as city gets ready to greetNew Year
As Shanghai embraces the dawn’s first blush of the new year, the city doesn’t settle for a single way to welcome the year 2026.
Instead, it spreads the celebration across rooftops, riversides, concert halls, malls, parks and neighborhood streets — loud or low-key, late night or daylight, grown-up or kid-friendly.
This guide will help you find places to watch drone shows and fireworks, symphony concerts and cultural performances, family-friendly activities, outdoor gatherings, and calm alternatives for those who’d rather skip the crush altogether.
Whether you’re celebrating with a cocktail, a stroller, a seat at the orchestra or a view of the sky, here’s where Shanghai is ringing in the new year — in all its many moods, and within its many, varied and spread-out districts.
