New Year’s Eve 2026 in Athens: A Spectacular Drone Show Lights Up Syntagma Square

On New Year’s Eve, as Athens welcomed the new year, Syntagma Square was filled with festive energy and celebration. The highlight and emotional peak of the night was a unique, one-of-a-kind drone show, created to mark the transition into 2026 with emotion, imagination, and visual impact for audiences of all ages.

The Municipality of Athens organized the city’s New Year’s Eve celebration, and at the climax of the night, we had the honor of presenting an unforgettable drone show, designed especially for the people of Athens, the visitors gathered at Syntagma Square, as well as everyone watching live on television across the country.

The show unfolded through a series of carefully designed aerial formations, transforming the Athenian sky into a dynamic storytelling canvas. It began with Athens illuminating the sky, followed by a QR code formation, presented for the first time ever in the Greek sky. By scanning it, spectators entered a live interactive experience.

Iconic visuals then appeared above the square: the owl, a timeless symbol of wisdom and Athens itself; musical notes moving in harmony; and impressive animated scenes inspired by Karagiozis, brought to life with dynamic motion and creativity.

A particularly emotional moment followed with a tribute to Dionysis Savvopoulos. The drones formed Karagiozis-inspired figures, his distinctive symbol, and a sky-formed silhouette of his face, honoring his lifelong contribution to Greek music, culture, and artistic expression. The message “Love is everywhere” appeared in the sky, capturing the spirit and meaning of the night.

As the countdown reached its end, the drones revealed New Year’s wishes above Athens:“Happy New Year Athens”, “2026”, “Love”, and “Happy New Year”, all perfectly synchronized with music by Dionysis Savvopoulos, creating a warm and meaningful transition into the new year.

This different and emotionally driven drone show combined technology, innovation, storytelling, and connection, offering a celebration that felt personal, inclusive, and memorable.The reactions from the crowd—smiles, excitement, and the genuine joy of young children—were the greatest reward for everyone involved.

We would like to thank the Municipality of Athens for their trust and collaboration, and for creating a celebration that brought people together. It was an honor to contribute a drone show designed especially for this moment, this city, and everyone who shared the experience both live and through broadcast.

We wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2026, filled with health, love, creativity, and inspiration.

🎥✨ Stay tuned — very soon the first official video will be released, so you can experience a glimpse of the magic once again.
