The best New Year's Eve events and parties in Montreal

Expect a grand ball at the lavish Hôtel William Gray, complete with all-night open bar, five-course meal, bopping beats and dancing, or if you book early enough, a private meal in one of their clear heated geodesic domes outside on the terrasse.

Downtown’s Satosphere will be popping off where everyone is invited to get dancing all night long under the killer visuals of invited VJs as a lineup of house and techno DJs play their best. It’s going to be a big show with big vibes.

Find a lingerie-themed fetish bash by the poolside of this unique venue. They’ll be delighting guests with electronic music from great DJs, epic performances, gogo dancers, an extremely kinky dungeon, visuals, and a special midnight countdown with their host Plastik Patrik.

This 46th floor restaurant in Place Ville-Marie will help you ring in the new year with a panoramic bird’s eye perspective. It may close at 10 pm, but for early birds, it’s the perfect romantic spot to turn a new leaf.

Old Montreal’s W Montreal is hosting NYE festivities at the luxurious W Living Room with exclusive performances plus live house karaoke. Expect a night full of champagne, oysters and tasty cocktails.

Looking for something cheaper and outdoors? This Christmas programming at three of Montreal’s parks extends all the way to NYE, where tons of performances will be taking place from the evening until the ball drops at midnight.
