& PREROLLS TO SPARK UP
The Definitive Midnight Guide
Step 0: The Supply Run
Before the chaos begins, secure your essentials at LAX Cannabis Club (8332 Lincoln Blvd). We've curated a specific pre-roll for every vibe on this list, featuring LA's finest: Aims, CIZI, CBX, DOJA, El Blunto, Featured Farms, Jeeter, Presidential, Stiiizy, and more.
Angel City Brewery
A casual, high-vibe celebration in the heart of the Arts District. No cover, live entertainment, and a massive beer hall setting perfect for a low-pressure midnight toast.
Dockweiler Fire Pits
Just 5 minutes from LAXCC. Fire pits, crashing waves, and the roar of planes overhead. This is the ultimate local tradition for a grounded, elemental start to 2026.
Moonlight Pier Pressure®
Ring in 2026 aboard the luxury Entertainer Yacht. This VIP experience
features a 4-hour ultra-premium open bar (Belvedere, Don Julio), buffet-style heavy apps,
and front-row seats to two massive firework shows at 9pm and midnight.
Important Note: This is a U.S. Coast Guard regulated vessel. No smoking or
cannabis is permitted onboard. Spark up at the dock before the 10:25 PM gate closure.
NYElectric @ The W
The W's rooftop is legendary. Panoramic views of the city, open bar packages, and a high-voltage atmosphere that lights up Hollywood Boulevard.
The Death Clock
A weird, dark-humor LA tradition. Locals gather to watch the cigarette death toll counter reset at midnight. It's ironic, chill, and deeply "LA." No tickets, no pretense.
Academy LA
State-of-the-art sound and visuals in the heart of Hollywood. If you want a pure, unadulterated club experience with massive energy, this is the spot.
Marina Fireworks
Watch dual fireworks displays reflect over the harbor water. Whether from Chace Park or a yacht, it’s a stunningly visual way to ring in the year.
EVE at Universal
Ride all day, party all night. EVE takes over Universal Studios with multiple entertainment hubs, DJs, and a massive fireworks display over the Wizarding World. Note: There is no smoking permitted inside the park, so hit your pre-roll before entering.
Grand Park NYELA
The West Coast's largest free celebration. Watch LA City Hall come alive with massive 3D projection mapping and incredible live music in the heart of the city.
Forever Midnight
The biggest house and techno party in Los Angeles. This massive two-day festival takes over the Convention Center with world-class production and global heavyweights.
The Insider's Guide
Locals-only wisdom for a hassle-free night
Griffith Park Midnight Hike: Skip the club and hike for the best firework views in the city. Quiet, cinematic, and very LA. Pair with: CBX flower.
Beverly Hills luxury hotels offer live bands and upscale bars without the amateur-night chaos. Sit at the bar for an easy escape. Pair with: El Blunto Luxury.
NYE in LA is "amateur night." The best experiences are walkable, open-air, slightly weird, and away from the ticketed VIP traps.
