The New Year 2013 STarTS here!If you’ve just arrived in Bequia - weLCOMe! You are right in time for our very special party night
to bring in the new year. New Year’s eve is known in Bequia as “Old Year’s Night” and it is celebrated as enthusiastically here as anywhere else in the world.
Many restaurants offer special festive dinners with live music and party favours, others offer more peaceful dining before the partying really gets going as the night wears on… You can opt to eat early or late; some venues even offer two sittings, so you can choose where you want to be when midnight strikes. Please remember to make your reservations for dinner in good time - places fill up fast!
On the stroke of midnight there will be a spectacu-lar firework display in the harbour. This annual event,
which is the brainchild of Sir James Mitchell, is only possible through the generosity of private individuals both resident and visiting, local businesses and the fearless commitment of the all-volunteer “Bang Gang”!
watch out too for impromptu celebrations from boats anchored in the harbour… and don’t forget to raise a glass to friends and family back home: Midnight in europe is at 7pm here, or 8pm if you are from england.
and for our american visitors, remember we are one hour ahead of New York, so your celebration may not start till 1am! But don’t worry – the partying goes on till dawn or later, as the sun rises again to greet yet another bright New Year.
So we hope you have a wonderful time in Bequia - you are, quite simply, on the best little island in the world.
A Very Happy New Year to One and All!
