Jerez is gearing up to bid farewell to the year 2024 and usher in 2025 with vibrant celebrations on New Year’s Eve. The Plaza de La Asunción will serve as the epicenter for the festivities, which will feature live performances and traditional celebrations including the widely-loved custom of eating grapes at midnight...
Starting at 1:00 PM, the atmosphere will shift from day to night as festivities take over the square, inviting hundreds of locals and visitors to join the revelry. The City Hall has orchestrated this event to create joyful moments, and it’s certainly anticipated to deliver.
For music lovers, artists such as Javier Belizón, Superagente 86, and Malamanera will perform, alongside popular DJs like DJ Valentino, DJ Peter Villa, DJ Vanetti, DJ Morí, and DJ Pablo a Bross. This eclectic lineup promises to keep spirits high throughout the day, providing entertainment for all ages.
The excitement builds as the hours count down to midnight when the traditional act of taking grapes at each chime of the clock occurs, allowing attendees to join together as they welcome the New Year. Live broadcasts by Canal Sur will accompany this cherished tradition, allowing everyone to partake, whether present physically or watching from home.
Event organizers have also taken measures to maintain hygiene and public safety throughout the celebration. Given the expected crowd size, portable toilets and numerous trash bins will be stationed around the plaza to promote cleanliness. City officials have also assigned twenty cleaning staff to manage the area, ensuring all remains orderly as night falls and festivities peak.
This year, the celebratory atmosphere is heightened as Jerez continues to ride the wave of festive spirit, following the success of previous events like the Zambombas and the ‘tardebuena’ gatherings earlier this month. The community’s enthusiasm for the occasion is palpable, and this New Year's Eve celebration is poised to embody the spirit of togetherness.
Last year's success set the tone for this year’s similar program, as the city of Jaén will carry on these festivities, showcasing the charm and cultural richness of Andalusian traditions.
With well-laid plans and vibrant performances, Jerez’s New Year's Eve celebration promises to be memorable. The anticipation is building as locals look forward to celebrating good times and new beginnings with friends and family, cementing their cherished traditions and welcoming 2025 with open arms.
