Grab your party hats and get ready to ring in the New Year! Whether you're looking for family fun or want to party your way into 2026, we’ve mapped out the best ways to celebrate New Year's Eve in North Myrtle Beach.
Find Family Fun in Barefoot Landing
It’s never too early to get the celebration started at LuLu’s! LuLu’s Noon Year's Eve event is perfect for kids of all ages to partake in the festivities without having to make it all the way to midnight. Gather the family for music, games, food, and, of course, lots of fun. When the countdown to noon ends, watch hundreds of beach balls drop from the sky (a volleyball net secured from the roof) onto the sand for a New Year ball drop moment like no other. The fun begins at 10 a.m. at Barefoot Landing, and there’s no entry fee to attend the event.
Barefoot Landing hosts even more fun as the evening goes on with their beloved fireworks show. Fireworks will take place at 7 p.m. and are free for all guests. Consider treating yourself to dinner before or after the show at one of Barefoot Landing’s many restaurants, including Umbertos and Flying Fish.
Party Your Way into the New Year
Start New Year’s Eve off with a Fireworks Cruise across the Intracoastal Waterway on the Barefoot Queen Riverboat. While onboard, enjoy a carefully curated meal, entertainment, and a fully stocked bar. While you’re in Barefoot Landing, keep the party going at Crooked Hammock Brewery. A ticket to their New Year’s Eve Bash will get you access to free bar drinks, live entertainment and apps, entrees, and dessert throughout the evening. Join the community and staff for a midnight toast and party all the way into 2025.
Ring in 2025 20’s style at the House of Blues New Year’s Eve Dinner & Dance. A ticket to this event will get you a four-course dinner, live entertainment by Soultrii, and party favors.
For food, fun, and entertainment, head to 21 Main at North Beach. This ticketed New Year’s Eve event will feature award-winning hors d'oeuvres, premium bar drinks, a champagne toast at midnight, and breakfast to go.
Those looking for a more classical experience can enjoy a spectacular evening of cocktails, dinner, and dancing from the Long Bay Symphony at their New Year's Eve Gala Benefit. This black-tie-optional event is going to be an absolutely spectacular evening that also serves as a benefit for the symphony.
The Ultimate Stay & Play
The ultimate convenience for celebrating New Year's Eve is staying right where the party is! You can seamlessly transition from dinner to dancing without leaving your resort. The Avista Resort is hosting a grand New Year's Eve Dinner Bash, featuring a cocktail reception, bountiful dinner, and live music by The Entertainers leading up to a midnight champagne toast.
For a more focused and elegant culinary experience, Blue Bistro at Bay Watch Resort offers a four-course oceanfront dinner, complete with menu choices like The Big Blue ribeye or seafood pasta all while enjoying amazing beachfront views from Blue Bistro’s floor to ceiling windows. Both hotels offer the perfect "stay and play" solution for a relaxing and memorable start to 2026.
No matter where you choose to celebrate, ringing in the New Year in North Myrtle Beach is the perfect way to kick off 2026.
