New Year’s Eve in Cabo 2026: Fireworks, Dinners, Parties & Events

Guest Guide · December 31, 2026

New Year's Eve
in Los Cabos

Where to dine, dance and watch the midnight countdown to 2027, from cliffside gala dinners to beach parties, family celebrations and the free show over Médano Bay.

Updated November 3, 2026. Many venues release their New Year's Eve programs in November and December. Each listing shows its current status, and "details TBA" entries describe what the venue offered last year so you can plan ahead.

The Midnight Show

Free and open to everyone

Médano Bay Countdown · Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas has replaced traditional fireworks with light shows to protect marine life. Last year's "Luz del Vigía" laser show was projected onto Cerro del Vigía in five shows from 8:00 PM to 11:50 PM, with the countdown displayed on the hillside. Earlier years featured drone shows over the bay. The 2026 format will be announced closer to the date.

  • Best viewing: Médano Beach, the marina, waterfront restaurants and rooftops, or from a boat in the bay.
  • Arrive early, since this is the busiest area of the night. Some resorts and restaurants still host their own fireworks.

Planning Tips

How to make the most of the night

✦

Book early. Ocean-view tables and events like Genesis, Bagatelle and Rosa Negra sell out quickly once announced.

✦

Most tickets are non-refundable. Confirm your plans before prepaying.

✦

Check what's included. Prices are usually per person; a 15% service charge and 16% tax are often added, and drinks may be extra.

✦

Dress codes apply. Elegant attire at Bagatelle; black and white at Sunset Monalisa; all white for the Corazón and Grand Solmar White Parties.

✦

Plan your ride. Traffic into downtown Cabo San Lucas and Médano is heavy on New Year's Eve. Pre-arrange private transportation or choose a venue close to your villa.

✦

Bring a layer. December nights on the beach can get cool.

✦

Celebrate on the water. Boats anchored in the bay can watch the countdown show. Private yacht and catamaran charters are limited that night, so reserve early.

✦

Prefer to stay in? A private chef, bartender or in-villa celebration is a relaxed way to toast the new year with your group.

Let us plan your night. Your Sun Cabo Vacations concierge can help with reservations, transportation, private chefs and yacht charters. Contact us early, since December availability goes fast.
