For Christmas eve, I have heard about a caroling party held at Mary's Boon. Don't really know anything about it though.
As far as NYE, traditionally there are fireworks at Philipsburg and at Maho and at Orient. I have heard that for this year, the guy from Lal's is trying to organize a fireworks display over the Lagoon, so that the bars and restaurants in Simpson Bay can get in on the action for NYE. I don't actually know the status of that, whether he got enough money to do it or not.

I've never been to any of them either, haven't been on island for NYE since the Millenium, (which we spent at Papagayo's, which was GREAT!). We had to leave to go home on NYE last year. The parties on Orient at Waikiki, Palm Beach, etc., sound fabulous, but they are pretty pricy. Can't remember the price, but something like 350 E per couple. Not sure it would be worth it to me, personally, as I often don't even make it through till midnight.

On New Year's eve, Orient Beach features one of the biggest fireworks displays in the Caribbean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-l_BwWIp28A fabulous beach front (under cover) dinner party at Wakiki Beach Bar for $200 Euros per person (food included/ drinks extra) starting at 8 PM. Reservations required. After dinner there is a huge beach party with music and fireworks called the Mega Party.

Hi Carol,
We were invited to Waikiki last year, our son's good friend & his family from NYC, come every year, they had a table for 20. We didn't dine, the private area was loaded with older people, the other section was full of young people. We actually snuck back into the younger section as it was more fun. Dancers on tables, same old, same old. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Then to Palm which had a party after midnight with dancing. No dining. We will be babysitting this year. Champagne at home this year.
Merry Christmas to you & Eric. Happy New Year!
xo Lyn & Capt. B

I don't actually know the status of that, whether he got enough money to do it or not. I saw on Facebook where Lal is advertising for the lagoon fireworks display on NYE. It's being funded by donations of spare change which have been collected at various bars and restaurants over the year, and any excess funds will be donated to local charities. He was excited about his plan when we were there in 2014, but I wasn't sure if it had actually materialized, as I didn't see any of the donation cans while we were there this past November and December. Apparently it worked out!

I saw in the Daily Herald yesterday that there were fireworks permits issued for P'burg, Maho, Simpson Bay and also Cupecoy, so there are also supposed to be fireworks somewhere in Cupecoy. With fireworks in Simpson Bay (or more likely the lagoon), and apparently also in Cupecoy, looks like there will be a couple more options to see fireworks this year, without necessarily spending big bucks. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />
