2009 New Year's Eve celebrations will be added to our Puerto Vallarta Party Guide as more information becomes available, so check back often for additional venues. (photos by Larry Bennett Photography)
Puerto Vallarta is an awesome place to party any time of the year, but on New Year's Eve it literally explodes! That's because no matter where you are when the clock strikes 12 on December 31st, you'll enjoy an amazing array of pyrotechnic displays all across Banderas Bay.

Add to that the city's festive atmosphere and never-ending energy - not to mention New Year's Eve celebrations to suit every taste and budget at restaurants, resorts and nightclubs all around the Bay - and you'll see why so many people from around the world choose to ring in the New Year in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Some people choose to "take it to the streets," wandering in and out of the many bars and restaurants in El Centro or dropping in on the Olas Altas street party on the south side before grabbing a bottle of Champagne and heading to the Malecón or Los Muertos Pier to watch the firework displays over the bay at midnight.

Others book an "all-inclusive" evening of food, drinks and dancing 'til dawn at a Banderas Bay area hotel or resort, while still others choose to reserve a table at one of Vallarta's numerous gourmet restaurants for an intimate evening of wining, dining and romance.

Whatever your preference, our Guide to Banderas Bay's Best Places to Party on New Year's Eve will give you a closer look at some of the most spectacular celebrations taking place in Puerto Vallarta and around the bay on the last night of 2009.
