Carabineros approves fireworks show at Torre Entel after seven years

After seven years of absence, Chile's Carabineros conducted the final inspection of the pyrotechnic show at Torre Entel in downtown Santiago, confirming it meets all safety requirements. The event features a drone show rehearsed in the early morning and musical performances to welcome 2026. The oversight ensures the safety of people and the urban environment.

Hours before the end of the year, Carabineros inspected on-site the pyrotechnic event to take place at the base of Torre Entel in downtown Santiago to welcome 2026. The procedure included technical checks of the launch site, fireworks storage, safety measures by the organizers, and compliance with protocols for mass events.

The inspection was led by Colonel Paola Martínez, head of the Private Security, Arms and Explosives Control Zone (s), who oversaw the review and completed the technical checklist. Following the assessment, it was determined that the show meets current regulations and is ready for execution, safeguarding people and the urban environment.

This pyrotechnic display returns to the Metropolitan Region after seven years of absence. Additionally, in the early morning of December 31, a rehearsal of the drone show at Torre Entel was captured by users on social media. The spectacle will light up Santiago's sky with various figures to complement the fireworks.

The party will start at 20:00 with DJ Isabella Serafini's performance, followed by acts from La Noche, Américo, and Princesa Alba. This event marks the return of a long-awaited tradition in Chile's capital.
