Welcoming 2026 Filipino Style

A great big party is usually the way Filipinos like to welcome the new year. Whether they do their own shindig at home or join someone else’s, food, drinks, entertainment, and fireworks are always part of the package. However, if you are looking for a party that’s already set and you have nothing to think about except your outfit, then here are a few options of New Year’s Eve parties you can join within Metro Manila. 

Starting strong, we have The Peninsula Manila and its 1976 Disco Gala Ball and Buffet Dinner. It also falls in line with the hotel’s 50th anniversary and will have flowing Champagne, glamour, and music to accompany the theme. It is priced at Php17,888 for adults and Php8,888 for children 12 and under. They also have packages that include a one-night stay if you would like to party the night away without having to drive home right afterwards. 

The Diamond Hotel also has a room and party package that starts at Php16,096 per night, which includes a buffet dinner. If you’d like access to the hotel’s New Year’s Eve Countdown Party, then room rates start at Php17,056. This is inclusive of 2 tickets for the party and a buffet breakfast for 2 the following morning. 

If you’re looking for a big party with a lot of dancing and music, then make sure to check out Okada’s Step Right Up to 2026 event. It’s basically a concert with a list of well-known singers and DJs. Ticket prices start at Php1,500 per person for General Admission. They also have different tiers and packages for groups, such as cabanas and tables that come with a set of drinks for groups of 6 up to 30.

There’s also another party at the Fairmont Lounge with a theme of disco, glitter, and groove for Php3,500 per person. It includes welcome drinks, a food platter, and one round of sparkling wine for the countdown, as well as one noise maker.
