Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - New Year's Eve celebrations in Puerto Vallarta are as diverse and exciting as the population of this magnificent and vibrant city. Fireworks exploding all over Banderas Bay provide an excellent backdrop for the festivities, and wherever you turn, the city is one huge party.
Puerto Vallarta offers a host of New Year's Eve options for every taste and budget. Some people choose to "take it to the streets," bar crawling along the Malecón or dropping in on the Olas Altas street party before heading to Los Muertos Pier at midnight to watch the firework displays over the bay, while others choose to reserve a table at one of the city's fine dining restaurants for an intimate evening of wining, dining and romancing.
Whether you choose to listen to live music, enjoy fine food, drink some champagne or dance the night away, Puerto Vallarta is the ideal place for those in search of the perfect New Year's Eve party - and our New Year's Eve Planner is your guide to some of the most spectacular celebrations taking place in Puerto Vallarta and around the bay on the last night of 2015.
ACT II ENTERTAINMENT - THE RED ROOM
Insurgentes 300 at Basilio Badillo
There's always something fun happening at STAGES, and New Year's Eve is no exception! On December 31, The Red Room will present Christine Deaver in Showgirl at 7:30 pm. If Bette Midler and Lady Gaga had a love child, the result would be Christine Deaver. Christine has been starring for the past 12 years in the cirque/cabaret/theatrical productions of TeatroZinzanni in Seattle and San Francisco. There she has written and created over 15 original characters that the press have called "daring", "sensual", "pee your pants funny", "she looks good in a moustache" and "what was she thinking?" Then at 9:30 pm, don't miss Paige Turner's Confessions of an Un-Natural Blonde. "The Holly GoLightly of Drag," Showbiz Spitfire Paige Turner entertains her audience with a madcap evening filled with a variety of rapid-fire comedy, live singing, outrageous videos and downright dumb at its best! Whether you choose to go to one show or both, there's no better way to ring in 2016 than with the top-quality entertainment you'll always find at Act II Entertainment STAGES. Tickets to all shows can be purchased online at VallartaTickets.com or at the box office, which opens daily at 11 am. For more information, call 222-1512, or follow Act II on Facebook.
