Experience Abu Dhabi listed Diwali 2025 as expected on 20 October. The official materials reviewed do not confirm a public fireworks show, live event listing or livestream in Abu Dhabi for Diwali itself. The verified fireworks option was Sheikh Zayed Festival at Al Wathba, which began later, on 1 November 2025.
When was Diwali in Abu Dhabi in 2025?
Experience Abu Dhabi listed 20 October 2025 as the expected date for Diwali in Abu Dhabi. Its listing describes community festivities alongside shopping and dining, and notes that Diwali is not a UAE public holiday. See Experience Abu Dhabi’s Diwali listing.
Where to watch fireworks on Diwali?
No Diwali-night public fireworks show was confirmed in the official sources reviewed. Abu Dhabi Media Office’s October 2025 events calendar lists events including the 12th Million’s Poet, running 16 October–3 January, and the Abu Dhabi International Date Palm Exhibition, running 21–23 October, but does not establish a fireworks event for 20 October. The calendar’s omission does not rule out private or community celebrations. Check the October events calendar.
Live events detail and locations
Diwali itself: 20 October
The official listing provides a date and general context for community festivities, but the reviewed sources do not provide a confirmed public Diwali event schedule, fireworks venue or livestream for that date. No specific place to watch Diwali fireworks can therefore be recommended from these listings.

Those were distinct festival occasions; their announcement does not establish a Diwali event. The festival committee’s figures—more than 4,000 cultural events, 750 large-scale public shows, over 20,000 participants, 22 participating countries and more than 6,000 drones—describe the festival season and New Year programme, not Diwali.
