New Year's Eve at Cinecittà World

The most cinematic New Year's Eve in Lazio

Every December 31st, Cinecittà World, the film and television-themed amusement park located in Castel Romano, within the Municipality of Rome (Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Lazio), turns into a massive New Year's Eve party. The formula is well-established: twelve hours of non-stop fun, from 6 PM to 6 AM, with attractions open until late at night, live shows, DJ sets, and themed dinners served in the park's restaurants. It is a great alternative to the historic city center squares for those looking for an organized, indoor-friendly New Year's Eve celebration that is also suitable for families.

Four musical stages included in the ticket

The heart of the evening is the musical program, spread across four stages included in the entry price, each with a distinct sonic identity. Guests can move freely from one stage to another, alternating between concerts, entertainment, and open-air dancing along the park's scenic avenues.

• Cinecittà Stage, on Cinecittà Street: hourly shows, entertainment, live revival music, and commercial DJ sets featuring Italian hits to sing along to.
• Reggaeton Stage, at Teatro 4: from 10 PM, Latin rhythms, reggaeton, and group dances with performers and animation.
• Viva gli Anni 90 / Millennium Bug Stage, at Teatro 1: a battle between 90s and 2000s dance music, with DJ sets, performers, and special effects.
• Face 2 Face NYE by Neon: the area dedicated to hard, tech, and electro sounds, with international DJs and a scenic setup of lights and visuals.

Midnight and fireworks

At the stroke of midnight, the park pauses for a collective countdown: the sky above Castel Romano lights up with a pyrotechnic show featuring over 3,000 fireworks, choreographed to music and light effects. It is the most photographed moment of the night, followed by the resumption of the party, which continues until dawn for those who have no intention of sleeping.

Gala dinners and themed meals

You can also experience New Year's Eve at Cinecittà World through its culinary offerings. The park offers four dinner and gala packages, each set in a different themed restaurant: the Ristorante Roma with classic Italian cuisine, the Saloon in a Western setting, the Charleston Club with a 1920s cinema-style gala, and the VIP Room for the most exclusive experience. These dinner packages are highly sought after and regularly sell out in the weeks leading up to the event; advance booking is essentially mandatory. Reduced menus and rates are available for children.

A New Year's Eve designed for families too

Unlike many New Year's Eve events, this proposal is deliberately inclusive: with over 40 attractions open, themed areas inspired by cinema, and live shows, the audience ranges from groups of young people staying until 6 AM to families with children taking advantage of the early evening hours. Park entry is free for children under one meter tall.

Why come

In the landscape of Roman New Year's Eve events, Cinecittà World occupies a unique niche: it is neither a massive public square concert nor a typical nightclub night, but a hybrid format—amusement park, multi-stage music festival, and gala dinner—that allows you to build your own night. Its location along the Via Pontina, south of the capital, makes it easily accessible by car from the entire Lazio coast and the Castelli Romani, with a dedicated shuttle service from Rome for those who prefer to leave their car at home.
