New Year’s Eve in Nice is celebrated in grand style! From cabaret shows to rooftops, immersive performances and club nights, the city comes alive with festive events to suit every taste. We recommend booking early — we’ve tracked down some of the most sought‑after parties for you!
Casino Barrière Pulls Out All the Stops
Head to Casino Barrière Le Ruhl for an evening that promises to be sensational. On the programme: an immersive show that takes you from a cosy lounge to a rock cabaret, from electronic beats to disco, from French hits to the underground vibe of a New York club. And to complete the journey, a dinner worthy of a luxury hotel: foie gras, lobster with lemon‑saffron cream, truffle tournedos and a blueberry Mont‑Blanc to die for.
Mama Shelter, Master of Themed Evenings
When it comes to parties, you simply can’t skip Mama Shelter, a true expert in themed nights. This year it’s time for the Flashback Party: a journey from the 1960s to today, brought to life by a live DJ and a menu still kept under wraps… just to build the anticipation. And for those who want to keep the magic going, save the date: 1 January 2026 for the first brunch of the year, complete with plenty of surprises.
A Must for Clubbers at the High Club
A true temple of nightlife, the High Club promises surprises and spectacular moments for its annual New Year’s Eve party — a night set to be unforgettable, the perfect way to ring in the new year in style. Here in the editorial team, we’re keeping a close eye on their Instagram account for updates… we can’t wait to see what they have in store! One thing’s certain: confetti and good vibes are guaranteed.
A Three‑Part New Year’s Eve at Tradiswiss – AC Hotel
This winter, the AC Hotel’s rooftop transforms into a cosy chalet — the perfect setting for a New Year’s Eve unfolding in three acts: a warm, seasonal dinner at the heart of Tradiswiss with breathtaking views, a comedy moment in another part of the hotel to warm up with laughter, and finally a dance party that will carry on late into the night. A festive event not to be missed.
La Compil’ at the Palais des Congrès with @aperodesfrenchy
What if Gatsby returned for one magical night? La Compil’ awaits you at the Palais des Congrès with @aperodesfrenchy for a true plunge into the Roaring Twenties, punctuated by hits from Madonna, Queen, George Michael and Britney Spears. A wild, dance‑filled night — perfect for starting the year in style… and perhaps even bumping into your very own Leonardo! Ladies, we look forward to your comments.
A Laughter‑Filled New Year’s Eve at Théâtre de l’Eau Vive
This evening is also about laughter and good company. Head to the Théâtre de l’Eau Vive, on boulevard Carabacel — a warm, lively theatre — to (re)discover an unmissable classic: Le Père Noël est une ordure. With Zézette, Thérèse, Félix and the rest of the cast, it’s a moment of pure fun to share with your loved ones. That’s right, indeed!
California Comes to Nice at the Palm Hotel
If you can’t spend New Year’s Eve in California, you can still dive into its atmosphere right here in Nice — and not just thanks to the palm trees along the Promenade des Anglais! Head to the Palm Hotel for a 100% hip hop night in a truly Californian setting. Expect delicious American street food and the signature purple‑tinted West Coast vibe for a fully immersive experience.
New Year’s Eve at Théâtre de l’Impasse: Cabaret and Magic
For New Year’s Eve, the Théâtre de l’Impasse transforms into a sparkling cabaret! On the programme: revue, glamour, burlesque jazz and rock’n’roll spirit. In the spirit of a new beginning, let yourself be carried away by soul‑infused magic and choreographed “witchcraft”. A wild night at the heart of the theatre — the perfect way to begin the year.
A New Year’s Celebration That Continues at the Opéra de Nice
Because we refuse to limit New Year’s celebrations to just one night, we’re offering you a unique experience at the heart of the Opéra de Nice. Join us on the morning of 1 January for a free concert that will take you on a magical journey through the musical imagination of Slavic countries. From the eerie tales of Old Russia to gentler yet equally fantastical stories, all the way to The Nutcracker, let yourself be transported by enchanting, dreamlike landscapes shaped by music. Please note: places are limited — first come, first served!
