New Year's happenings?
Culebra, Puerto Rico

Hello!

My wife and I will be are coming to Culebra for the first time from 30 Dec-4 Jan. While we know Culebra isn't known for its nightlife (one of the major reasons we are coming!) I was wondering what goes on for New Year's? We are both interested in getting to know the local culture; are there any events we should check out?

Thanks! Brian

Brian,

You are in for a treat. Everyone on the island (except for that one grouch) gathers on the commons adjacent to the ferry dock. Folks bring buffets and lawn chairs and dress up in finery or masquerade - but mostly they dance. I only get to come for every other NYE (next year), but the three I've been to each had two bands playin' that infectious synchopated Latina musica that won't let you sit still. Fireworks to finish, and oh am I jealous of you!

Doug

Smiling here...there is one very big local event - on the ferry dock IS New Year's Eve. The island turns out, families, everyone. People bring tables and food and drinks, there will be music...if you want and like local, that's as local as it gets. It's a wonderful, amazing time. There are drinks and food for sale as well, so you should be fine, but if there is something special you want to have, bring it with you just in case.

yeah, I was there last year and the dock IS a blast.

NYE has so many expectations and over the years I can only count about 4 that have really been fun. that was one.
