New Year's Eve Evening at the Theater: Concert & Culture

If you want to start the evening elegantly, you can plan a festive New Year's Eve concert at the municipal theater on 12/31/2025. A start around 7:00 p.m. is ideal to celebrate afterwards, go out to eat, or take a walk through the old town.

You can expect lively, seasonally appropriate works (including waltzes and polkas) that frame the transition into the new year in a festive way. The format is suitable for anyone who wants to start the night calmly and with musical quality.

Recommended Schedule for the Early Evening

• Admission: arrive on time, check your coat, take your seat.
• Concert: classical program with a New Year's theme.
• Afterwards: go directly to the next stop (e.g., rooftop party) or leisurely into the old town.

Tip: If you want to party later, you benefit from the early start time and short distances to the city center.

Party Above the Rooftops: Skybar New Year's Eve with Ticket

For an urban New Year's Eve with a panorama over Amberg, a rooftop skybar in the city center is an attractive option. For 12/31/2025, a New Year's Eve party with music and a view of the fireworks on the horizon is expected.

Expected Key Details

• Times: Start around 9:00 p.m., end around 2:00 a.m.
• Tickets: expected to be around 25 euros including welcome drink/midnight snack (limited contingents)
• Admission: from 18 years old
• Dress code: smart casual
• Pyrotechnics: own fireworks are generally not allowed at the location

The special moment: At midnight, let your gaze wander over the city – celebrate warmly inside, watch the play of lights outside.

Planning tip: Because New Year's Eve falls on a Wednesday, Thursday can be used as a recovery day; so the night can last longer in a relaxed way.

Fireworks in Amberg: Rules, Safety, Consideration

For the turn of the year 2025/2026, the federal legal framework for small fireworks of category F2 applies in Bavaria. Please note the following key points:

• Sale: usually takes place on the last three working days of the year (legal exceptions possible).
• Ignition: generally only allowed on December 31 and January 1.
• Minimum age: purchase and ignition of F2 fireworks only from 18 years old.

Additionally, local regulations (e.g., prohibited zones in the old town, at hospitals or care facilities) may be issued. Check municipal notices shortly before New Year's Eve.

Celebrate Safely and Considerately

• Launch rockets only vertically from stable devices.
• Maintain sufficient distances from buildings, trees, and people.
• Do not relight duds; dispose of them properly later.
• Be considerate of animals, children, and noise-sensitive people.

Many indoor locations, including rooftop bars, prohibit personal pyrotechnics. From there, you often still have a good view of the city events – without lighting your own.

Planning & Tips: How to Make Your New Year's Eve Complete

• Decide early: concert, party, menu – or a combination.
• Tickets/reservations: secure early; contingents are limited.
• Calculate routes: from the theater to the location are short distances; plan buffer time.
• Fireworks consciously: prioritize safety or watch instead of lighting yourself.
• Use New Year's Day: brunch, walk, short city or café round.
