Happy New Year! See photos of Old Sacramento’s 2025 celebration

The sky lit up at 9 p.m. Tuesday in Old Sacramento on New Year’s Eve as the city celebrated the coming new year with a display of light and pyrotechnic effects.

The show, put on by Pyro Spectaculars in partnership with Stage 9 Exhibits, was the climax of Countdown on the Cobblestones, an evening of music and other festivities in the city’s historic center.
