Albania welcomed the new year with colorful decorations, fireworks displays, and numerous concerts that filled the streets of its cities. Citizens gathered in the squares to count down the minutes to New Year 2026, wishing each other luck, health, and prosperity in the new year. The festive atmosphere was felt not only in the main cities, but also in other cities across the country, where people gathered to share the joy of the new year.
As throughout December, the streets of the capital and other cities were filled with citizens of all ages. In addition to ordinary residents, many emigrants returned to the country to celebrate with their relatives, bringing a special energy and uniting families for this important moment. Many of them consider the turn of the year in Albania a beautiful tradition.

Some citizens welcomed the year 2026 in restaurants and festive settings. Others preferred the main squares and streets of the cities to feel the liveliness and energy of the celebrations, while some spent this moment with their families in their homes.
Tirana, Durrës, Korça, Shkodra and Gjirokastra became the main epicenters of the celebrations, attracting a large number of local and foreign visitors. The sky above the cities was lit up by colorful fireworks, creating unforgettable spectacles that made the New Year's Eve wonderful for all participants.
This year, no incidents or injuries were recorded from the use of pyrotechnics. Local authorities and security teams emphasized that the cooperation of citizens and strict control have enabled the celebrations to pass without problems, guaranteeing a safe and peaceful environment for all participants.
At the end of this year full of events and reports, CNA wishes a Happy New Year 2026 to all Albanian citizens!
