Tens of thousands of revellers celebrated New Year's Eve at open-air events in the southern city of Chorzów, Toruń in the north, Poznań in the west, and Chełm in the southeast, state news agency PAP reported.

As in previous years, many large cities, including the capital Warsaw, opted against staging fireworks displays this New Year's Eve.

One of the biggest public events was held by state broadcaster TVP at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów, featuring a long lineup of domestic and international performers, led by Canadian rock singer Bryan Adams.

The southern city of Kraków and the central city of Łódź, meanwhile, hosted special mass running events to ring in 2025 on an active note, according to reports.
