Anyone who has had the privilege of spending New Years in Vallarta
knows that the city offers dinners ranging from formal to casual that need reservations in advance. If you prefer something more casual (or were too late in making a reservation) on December 31, the Malecón is the place to ring in the New Year. The sky will light up with fireworks at midnight and the show is expected to last for thirty minutes. The sky will also glow in Nuevo Vallarta, Marina Vallarta, the Hotel Zone, Romantic Zone, and Mismaloya. As always, south of the Malecón, there will be a street party on Olas Altas street in the Romantic Zone with music and dancing.
The twelve grapes of hapiness and other New Year's traditions
Mexico is a country rich in tradition and customs. Here are just a few related to the New Year.
Each year, when the clock strikes twelve celebrants eat one grape as the clock rings midnight, one grape for each chime of the bell. Each grape represents good luck and fortune in each of the coming twelve months.
If you see someone walking around with a suitcase on New Years Eve, they are not going to the airport, but hoping to travel in the coming year.
Women looking to find love in the next 365 days will don red underwear. Other colors of lucky underwear include yellow (to bring work), green (to bring money) and white (good health).
Some believe it is good luck to start the New Year with a clean house, and you may observe people sweeping out their homes at the stroke of midnight.
