SHINE INTO 2027
December 31st · Midnight in Diamonds Gala
For those joining us on New Year’s Eve, Midnight in Diamonds begins in the world of horses, at ISSA’s indoor equestrian arena.
The evening begins at 19:00 with a welcome drink. The ISSA horses set the stage with a special equestrian performance, dedicated to the final night of the Year of the Fire Horse. Against a backdrop of gala attire and a captivating atmosphere, we welcome the New Year with elegance and grace.
At 19:30 the Charm Ballroom welcomes guests for an elegant gala dinner, complemented by an open bar and live music.
Călin Geambașu Band will take to the stage with a captivating performance, featuring a selection of international and Romanian favourites to bring a touch of sparkle to the dance floor.
Above the evening, the chandelier designed by Mihai Popescu transforms its more than 10,000 points of light into a rain of diamonds, created for the passage into the new year.
At midnight, we raise a glass of sparkling wine and welcome 2027 beneath the brilliance of a light show.
