There are several ways to celebrate on New Year's Eve in Boracay. You can go from bar to bar and gradually make your way to your favorite haunt, or you could spend the whole evening enjoying the entertainment packages featuring visiting performers in some of the bigger hotels (shows start about 8:30p and admission costs vary). Wherever you are, customers spill into the streets in spontaneous street parties. The resorts present fireworks displays over the water off White Beach. Make sure you are still standing for the spectacular show!

Boracay New Years and Holidays, like the Boracay Bikini Open not surprisingly, most occur during the high season. During the peaks of high season it's Boracay Party Time, so if you want to take part in the many Boracay Events and enjoy live music during your Boracay Vacation, plan your visit for Christmas and New Year, during Holy Week (Easter) or during school holidays in May .

Boracay offers many Boracay events during high season that include the International Beach Volleyball, Soccer and Frisbee Tournaments, Boracay Bikini Open, Muscle Man Contest, the Paraw Regatta (a race for out rigger s a i l ing boats) and the Dragon Boat Race.

Boracay events like the above mentioned, some of these you are welcome to join. The exact dates for many of these Boracay events are not decided until several months or weeks before they occur.
