New Year’s Eve Celebration At Hotel Haya In Ybor

I'm a big fan of Hotel Haya so I'm pleased to hear they will be putting together a big New Year's Eve event.

Have you been to this hotel before? I'm a huge fan of their food and drinks. Hotel Haya is located at 1412 East 7th Avenue. It's got Cuban vibes and upscale fun.

The bash is called the Glamorous Grooves New Year’s Eve bash featuring DJ Lolo Mayhew. It kicks off at 7 P.M. and rocks on until the ball drops at midnight. You want to kick your 2024 off in a big way...Hotel Haya is the place to be.

I love the bar at Hotel Haya. That's where you'll get to dance to live music from DJ Mark Anthony and Florida's own DJ Lolo Mayhew. But that's not all! Check out the crazy feats of live contortionists! Aerial Dragons Entertainment always puts on a heck of a show! There will also be Go-Go Dancers from Vyb Dance Company. At the stroke of midnight, you'll ring in the New Year with a glass of bubbly. Hello 2024! Let's go!

Their regular menu is incredible. But the menu for New Year's Eve will be out-of-this-world. Dive into the Fig & Almond Arancini, Beef Wellington, and sip on the Espresso Martini Budino

We will NOT see those bone chilling freezing cold temperatures on New Year's Eve around Tampa Bay. In fact, the forecast calls for warmer than normal weather with temperatures all weekend in the upper 70s. Some areas might even hit 80 degrees. There is a chance of some rain, but hopefully it'll be a typical Florida quick shower.

If you're looking to stay on the Pinellas County side of the Bay, there are three big fireworks displays to check out New Year's Eve to ring in 2023.

A party at Spa Beach begins at 8pm with music, food trucks, and champagne bar. You'll be able to see the midnight fireworks display anywhere along the waterfront, but the pier is your best bet. Before the fireworks, maybe visit the Dali Museum or get dinner at Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille.

Bring a lawn chair or beach towel and have a seat on the sand. Head to the southern end of Clearwater Beach for the best view of these midnight fireworks, which will be set off on the north end of Sand Key (which will be closed to the public). Take the Jolley Trolley to avoid traffic!

Head to the beach near Gulf Front Park at 10400 Gulf Blvd just south of the Treasure Island Causeway for the best view. Parking is a challenge, but plan ahead to seek out the best city-owned lots.
