Every year as the holiday season comes to a close, Toronto starts buzzing with activity and entertainment. We welcome the future by honoring our past.

So welcome the new year and new beginnings as we round up the top things to do in Toronto for NYE:

●    Boat party

Go to the Toronto Harbor and hire a boat party to remember this NYE. Jubilee Queen Cruises hosts its boat party, which sets daily at 10 pm and gives you great views of the city's fireworks, party favors, food, drinks, and much more.

●    Waterfront Fireworks

Welcome new beginnings as the clock strikes midnight with high-altitude fireworks at the waterfront. You can head to the waterfront for family time or view the fireworks from as far as the inner Harbor.

●    Barcode Saturdays

Need to make ad hoc plans for NYE? Get ready to play at Barcode Saturdays with a lavish toast of live entertainment and clubbing. Keep grooving all night long, deep into the wee hours of the night. Make way to the hottest NYE party with great party favors, bottle services, and house champagnes.

●    Ripley's Aquarium

Get your hands full with an underwater experience at Ripley's Aquarium. It has over 20,000 underwater species, which makes for a dazzling spectacle. The Aquarium also hosts New Year family-friendly events.

●    Hockley's Valley

Just on the brink of Toronto, you can enjoy an extravagant entry into the New Year. Enjoy a masquerade gala dinner dance party full of party favors, a live DJ, canapes, midnight toast, and a five-course dinner.
