With rooftop bars in abundance and a whole host of signature events for New Years Eve, Miami offers memorable celebrations that will allow you to welcome 2024 in the best way possible!
The new year fireworks over Biscayne Bay and spectacular VIP celebrations such as Bayfront NYE and the famous Fontainebleau beach party are just some of the key events that brings even more people to the Magic City!
An awesome free outdoor celebration that brings thousands of people to Bayfront Park. With live musical performances, food and drinks, this is the perfect location to ring in the new year and see the fireworks explode over Bicayne Bay. There is also VIP tickets available for this who want to elevate their evening for more ease and comfort.
If you're out at Bayfront Park then you can also get to check out another iconic feature of the new years eve celebrations in Miami - where New York has the ball drop in Times Square here it is a big orange instead.
Another key difference is that at midnight the 35 foot neon-lit Big Orange rises rather than falls, right up the side on the InterContinental Hotel, with the fireworks launched when it reaches the top.
This is by far the biggest fireworks and most impressive display in the area, taking advantage of the warm Florida December climate to bring large crowds out to the beach to welcome the new year in style with a spectacular show over Biscayne Bay, which can be viewed for miles around.
The display usually takes place at Ninth Street and Ocean Drive in Miami Beach. The streets in the surrounding area are closed to traffic to create more space for the crowds to gather, with Lummus Park a particularly popular viewing spot.
This is one of the iconic Miami new year parties, the famous beach party at the Miami Fontainebleau. There is always a big name headline acts to draw the crowds. This years headliners are yet to be announced, but last year saw Marshmello and Khalid. Previous to that have seen the likes of Doja Cat, Alesso, Justin Bieber, Drake, Lady Gaga and Demi Lovato showing up here - while the evening includes drinks, dancing, VIP options and plenty of champagne at midnight.
Tickets for this event will sell out quickly, so if this is your party of choice we recommend you secure your places here
The waterfront setting of Miami makes taking to the seas a very popular new year option, taking you clear of the crowds on the shore and giving you a guaranteed front row view for the fireworks.
One excellent option is the Pier Pressure New Years Eve Cruise. Premium open bar, buffet dinner, entertainment with live DJs and a spectacular countdown. You can book now: Pier Pressure NYE Cruise
If you're in Miami over the new year period and are a football fan then be sure to take in the Orange Bowl college football game being played on 30th December at the Hard Rock Stadium.
