New Year’s and Christmas time are a busy time of year for tourists and locals alike in BVI. The last day of the year, 31 December, is among the most boisterous and fun-filled of them all.
There are fireworks exploding over the water in many locations around BVI on New Year’s Eve, while all-night parties go on in private homes, at restaurants, and at night clubs. Foxy’s Old Year’s Night party, a kind of BVI toga party, is especially popular with many.
Some also enjoy the beach and various ocean sports on the New Year’s Day public holiday, if they’re not recovering in bed or relaxing at home with family and friends.
