Celebrating New Year's Eve in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

December 28, 2018

Whether you choose to hit the streets, enjoy fine food, drink champagne, listen to live music, or dance the night away, Puerto Vallarta is the ideal place for those in search of the perfect New Year's Eve celebration.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The year may be coming to an end, but here in Puerto Vallarta, we don't plan on winding down anytime soon. Considering New Year's Eve is right around the corner, it's time to get the ball rolling and start planning your celebration.

All it takes to have a great New Year's Eve is close friends, the right attitude and of course, a place to party - and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico provides the atmosphere, the proper attitude and the energy to attract people who know a great party when they see one.

Puerto Vallarta offers a host of New Year's Eve options for every taste and budget. Some people choose to "take it to the streets," enjoying the free entertainment on the Malecón or at the Olas Altas street party before heading to the beach at midnight to watch the firework displays over the bay, while others choose to reserve a table at one of the city's fine dining restaurants for an intimate evening of wining, dining and romancing.

Whatever your preference, our New Year's Eve Party Planner will give you a closer look at some of the most spectacular celebrations taking place on the last night of 2018.

This year's lineup starts with Arcano at 8:00 pm, followed by Mariachi Real de America at 10:30 pm, and Grupo Versatil Ahi Ná Má at 11:30 pm. As midnight approaches, everyone starts looking for the best place to enjoy the Espectacular Piromusical, a spectacular fireworks and musical presentation that welcomes the New Year - Vallarta Style!
