Ringing in the year by the sea
New Year’s Eve is one of the liveliest nights in the Coronado corridor, with warm dry weather and a full house of visiting families.
Ways to celebrate
- Beachside dinners and parties at restaurants and clubs.
- Fireworks along the coast at midnight.
- Private gatherings — the community loves a house party.
Local traditions
Panamanians mark the night with family, fireworks and sometimes the burning of a “muñeco” (an effigy of the old year). Expats often join in.
Practical tips
