Kuna Gem Drop
The City of Kuna and the Kuna Parks and Recreation Department is proud to bring you...
The 2026 New Year Gem Drop!
Celebrate the start of 2026 with us at the Kuna New Year Gem Drop! Idaho has been nicknamed “the Gem State” since its territorial days so we saw it fitting to build a giant gem in its honor. This year we are taking the celebration to Bernie Fisher Park, so join us for an unforgettable evening as we drop a sparkling gem from a crane at midnight to welcome in the New Year.
There will be security and road closures to ensure the safety of the public.
Make sure you stop by the City of Kuna Tent for some fun New Year's Eve noisemakers for the kids. (Available until supplies last).
When the countdown to the new year begins, Seid Crane will drop the Gem resulting in a pyrotechnic and firework display. Please stay behind the safety fence-barricade. If you have sensitive pets, please make sure to take precautions for them as well.
WARNING: STROBE LIGHTING AND OTHER INTENSE LIGHTING WILL BE USED DURING THE GEM DROP WHICH MAY BE DISRUPTIVE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE SENSITIVE TO LIGHT. THIS EVENT ALSO HAS FIREWORKS.
