Mombasa, Kenya – Kenyans are gearing up for grand New Year’s Eve celebrations, with fireworks displays planned across the country to welcome 2024. A survey conducted by the Kenya News Agency (KNA) in Mombasa reveals that numerous entertainment venues, recreational parks, and churches have organized a variety of activities for the event.

According to Kenya News Agency, GTC/AVIC is planning a spectacular Sh 150 million New Year’s Eve fireworks display, set to be launched from their building. The show, choreographed by Jays Pyrotechnics, is drawing considerable excitement among Kenyans, eager to witness this historic event.

John Mureithi, a Nairobi resident vacationing in Mombasa, expressed his enthusiasm for the celebrations. “I will spend New Year’s Eve with my family at the newly refurbished Mama Ngina Water Front, looking forward to capturing the moments,” he said.

Mombasa Deputy Commissioner Ronald Mwiwawi assured heightened security throughout the island during the festivities.
