We love parties and family get-togethers throughout the year, but New Year’s Eve deserves a special celebration -- and Hawaiians know how to deliver. Here’s Cutter Automotive Galleries’s list of some of the best events in Honolulu and her neighboring cities that are sure to rock in the New Year.

Club Parties

The annual parties bring mega crowds and out-do themselves every year with killer masquerade themes, dynamic DJ’s and live bands, and larger-than-life entertainment. Some popular events include the 2016 New Years Eve at Fifty Three by the Sea, New Year's Eve Masquerade Ball at SKY Waikiki, Tiki Drop New Year's Eve Party at Tiki's Grill & Bar, New Year’s Ever Party of the Year at Aloha Tower Marketplace, and NYE LUX at The TRUMP International Hotel.

Fireworks Cruise

You know that the Waikiki fireworks are a MUST SEE on New Year’s Eve. For an unforgettable ocean view of the fireworks, take a dinner cruise on The Star of Honolulu with gourmet dining and live entertainment. It leaves at 10:15pm from Aloha Tower Marketplace Pier 8. 

Special Events Shows

If the hardcore party scene isn’t your flavor, there are several knock-your-flops-off shows going on this New Year’s Eve. Have a good laugh at the Neal Blaisdell Center with New Year’s Mahermegeddon, featuring famous comedians and actors Bill Maher, David Spade and Jeff Ross.

Or check out the Rock-A-Hula “Rockin’ Eve with Elvis” show featuring favorites from Elvis with live performances, gourmet dinner, glass of champagne, party favors, and an exciting meet-and-greet with the cast at 9:30pm at Royal Hawaiian Theater.

The New Year's Eve Latin Gala at Fleet Reserve Association Branch 46 on Valkenburgh Street features live Latin music and entertainment starting at 7pm, including a fabulous Latin dance showcase, party favors, pupus, and a champagne toast at midnight. There will be a no-host bar and free parking.

These are just a few of the amazing events going on December 31 in our community. However you celebrate, the Cutter Automotive Galleries team wishes you and your family a very happy New Year’s Eve!
