How Jakarta celebrates

Jakarta celebrates the New Year at sites across the city, with the provincial government's main stage on New Year's Eve 2025 at Bundaran HI (Hotel Indonesia Roundabout). The Monas area (Monumen Nasional), with its 132-metre gilded obelisk in Merdeka Square, has also drawn large crowds: Monas management counted 75,640 visitors between 6am and 8pm on New Year's Eve 2024.

The Hotel Indonesia Roundabout (Bundaran HI) on Jalan Thamrin was the provincial government's main stage on New Year's Eve 2025, with live performances and a countdown, and hosted a fireworks and drone show on New Year's Eve 2024. For New Year's Eve 2025 the governor asked that no fireworks be held anywhere in Jakarta, by government or private organisers, in solidarity with victims of the Sumatra floods.

Jakarta's celebration reflects the cosmopolitan character of a city home to over 10 million people. While the secular countdown dominates, Indonesia's diverse communities mark the occasion in their own ways. Indonesia spans three time zones across its 17,000+ islands, and Jakarta celebrates on Western Indonesian Time (WIB, UTC+7), the westernmost zone, so Makassar (UTC+8) and Jayapura (UTC+9) reach midnight first.
