Margaritaville Times Square Gala In Paradise NYE 2026

The famed Margaritaville Resort reimagines PARADISE as a New Year’s Eve party in the heart of Times Square.

Why Margaritaville Times Square Gala In Paradise is the best NYE 2026 party

NYE Party Vibe and Amenities

Rising above Times Square's lights, the Margaritaville-famed two-story party space hosts a sprawling affair with a 21+ party scene and all-ages entertainment. Expect all kinds of festive amenities, starting with a 5-hour premium open bar. It’s time to dance, drink, and indulge in some of Margaritaville’s famed lite fare as you anticipate the arrival of the New Year. While Margaritaville honors Jimmy Buffett’s music, the party will showcase a playlist that transcends Jimmy’s music as live DJs spin a mix of the year’s Top 40, POP, hip-hop, and crowd-pleasing hits. As the New Year dawns, guests grab a glass of sparkly (soft drink for the underage), compliments of the open bar, to toast the New Year. With a glass in hand, the DJ leads the crowd in a fist-pumping countdown, with everyone chanting Happy New Year.

And there’s more: upscale the night with VIP exclusive tickets and packages. VIP Access tickets provide premium access to the Jimmy Buffett VIP Mezzanine area.

Moving through Times Square on New Year’s Eve can be slow. Give yourself plenty of time to travel from your hotel or starting point to your party destination. There are police checkpoints throughout Times Square, and wait times may vary. The “doors open” time is located on your actual ticket. We strongly recommend arriving at least one hour before the scheduled opening time. NOTE: Attempting to enter Times Square after 9:00 PM is difficult and strongly discouraged.
