From the glitz and glamour of Hollywood Boulevard, the crowds on the Universal CityWalk, the NYE Party in the Grand Park or the fireworks on the coast down at Long Beach and Marina del Rey, here in Los Angeles on New Years Eve it is a mecca of celebrations with something for everyone in the fantastic city.

New Years Eve Fireworks

There are a few options for fireworks in the greater LA area on new years eve. The biggest organised displays are normally those at the Universal CityWalk new year party and on the coast at Marina del Rey. Details are sparse on these events, so I always recommend checking locally for any last minute updates.

Grand Park NYE LA

There is a free, family friendly new year party called NYE LA in the city's Grand Park and music center, featuring live music and entertainment that is described as "multi-dimensional". The evening ends in an epic light show on City Hall. Details, once announced, will be available here.
