Byron Bay New Years Eve 2024

Guide to new years eve in Byron Bay. Top parties, events, restaurants and hotels for NYE 2023-2024

Byron Bay has had something of an issue with new years eve celebrations getting out of hand in years gone by, so I should point out that these days it isn't really the party central you might expect - if it's wild night life your looking for then you'll be better served heading up to the Gold Coast and the beaches and bars around Surfers Paradise.

For a laid back new years party though, with some of the friendliest locals you'll ever encounter, head to Byron. There won't be fireworks or beach parties, but the local bars and restaurants put on enough special events to keep you entertained, while the local scenery and long white sand beaches are the perfect settings to wind down and recharge your batteries for the year ahead.

Soul Street New Years Eve party

Despite the lack of fireworks there is still plenty going on in Byron Bay on new years eve - top events to look out for include the Soul Street New Years Eve Party, an alcohol free, family friendly party on Jonson Street from 4pm - 12.30am featuring market stalls, live entertainers and plenty of kids activities. More details once announced for 2023/24 will be available here.

First Sun Cape Byron Lighthouse

First Sun New Years Day at the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse see people up at the crack of dawn for an event starting at 5.30am to greet the first sunrise of the new year with music, meditation and free yoga.

NYE Bars

There will also be new year celebrations at the many bars in town, popular joints to head for include The Rails, The Balcony Bar and The Northern..

New Years Eve Hotels

There is plenty of accommodation to choose from on Byron Bay, with a definite focus on budget places with backpacker spots and caravan parks among the popular choices.

I can personally recommend the Glen Villa Resort, conveniently located just off Jonson Street with very reasonably priced and decent quality cabins available.

NYE Live Stream

There is a pretty good webcam located looking right along the fantastic white sand beach, but it's more use for watching the surf than any new year parties really:
