4. ParkCity Year-End Light Festival at The Waterfront, Desa ParkCity
In the mood for a quieter celebration away from the crowds at busy shopping malls? Although technically a shopping mall, The Waterfront at Desa ParkCity has a tranquil vibe that’s far less chaotic, making it perfect for any crowd-phobic readers. This airy, open-air mall maintains the calm atmosphere by skipping fireworks this year in favour of something even better: the ParkCity Year-End Light Festival! With starry lights of all colours dancing to joyous tunes, it’s a soothing way to bring in 2025. And did we mention that the mall is pet-friendly?

5. Pinkfish Countdown at Sunway Lagoon
That’s right, tickets for the iconic Pinkfish Countdown at Sunway Lagoon are still available, but they’re selling out fast! This must-attend event for electronic music fans features an exciting lineup from 4:30 PM until late. With top local and international artists like Sara Landry, Showtek, and Mr. Yang, the event promises non-stop energy and unforgettable beats. While not technically in Kuala Lumpur, we’d say the trek all the way to Sunway Lagoon’s Surf Beach is well worth it for the vibrant visuals, interactive exhibits, and electrifying performances alone. Are you ready to rave in the New Year?
| Venue | Surf Beach Sunway Lagoon, 3, Jalan PJS 11/11, Bandar Sunway, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor |

Another great cocktail bar for New Year’s is Tap Tap, known for its famous draft cocktails on tap, available until the countdown strikes. The best part? Their cocktails aren’t just tasty, they’re also affordable — who says you need to break the bank to celebrate NYE? Dance the night away to the sick beats of talented DJs as you spend the last hours of 2024 at Tap Tap. With multiple locations across Kuala Lumpur, pick your spot and arrive by 9 PM, then get ready to party until the lights come on.

Subvert expectations by celebrating New Year’s in an underground club instead of a rooftop bar because why not? This holiday season, Kyō is going all out with a non-stop celebration from Christmas Eve through to New Year’s. The cosmic-themed event promises to be epic, and if you missed out on Cosmic Christmas, don’t worry — Kyō’s Cosmic NYE is set to be an even bigger intergalactic adventure.
