đ New Yearâs Eve in Puerto Vallarta is shaping up to be a BIG one đ
As we get closer to the end of the year, Puerto Vallarta is getting ready to welcome 2026 with free, open-air celebrations across the city â perfect for locals and expats who want to ring in the New Year without being stuck in one place.
As usual, the MalecĂłn will be a main gathering spot. Crowds start filling the waterfront around sunset, with a large stage near the lighthouse hosting live music and entertainment leading up to midnight.
This year, celebrations will be spread out a bit more, which is great news đYouâll also find food, music, and performances at:
- Los Muertos Pier
- LĂĄzaro CĂĄrdenas Park in the Romantic Zone
- Hidalgo Park, where the Christmas Village will feature live music, including sets geared toward younger audiences
One of the highlights of the night will be a free electronic music concert on the MalecĂłn. The French duo The Blaze will headline the evening, taking the stage at 7:30 pm. If youâre into electronic music with a cinematic vibe, this should be a really fun one â and itâs completely free.
There will also be a mix of traditional and international music throughout the night, and of course, a fireworks show at midnight over Banderas Bay to welcome the New Year đ
The celebrations donât stop there. On January 1, the city will host the First Sunset at Palmares Beach, inviting everyone to relax, enjoy the ocean, and ease into the New Year together. Additional music and activities are planned around the city throughout the day.
Looks like a great way to kick off 2026 đŽ
