A year-end crowd of more than 6,500 guests packed Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall for Scientology’s 2026 New Year celebration—an evening that combined live performances with a headline presentation showcasing developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
Not just a midnight celebration, the programme put the focus on the year’s most talked-about themes: digital expansion and online learning, new premises and expansion plans, and the opening of sites linked to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It also highlighted drug prevention with Drug Free World, literacy and values-focused initiatives (TWTH) framed as community engagement in multiple regions.
