The coming of a new year is always exciting. It’s the end of an eventful year and the start of a new and exciting one. However, you should start the year off with a bang! Head up one of these places in the list and you’ll be sure to have an excellent New Year Eve celebration.
KLCC Park
There isn’t anywhere else in Malaysia that screams “being in the heart of it” quite like KLCC itself. The Twin Towers are a landmark and an icon in Malaysia. Celebrating the new year in its park is quite an experience.
Usually an escape from the hustling city-centre, KLCC park comes alive with energy on New Year’s Eve. There will be performances from international and local music bands too. Being in the city centre gives you easy access to the rich F&B outlets of KL too, so you can fill up and enjoy before watching the amazing fireworks with the Petronas Twin Towers as the backdrop.

Desa Park City
As a more family-friendly alternative, Desa Park City is ideal. Its beautiful lakeside park has plenty of room for families to gather, the playground serving as the perfect past-time for children. The adults, on the other hand, can spend their time relaxing or even dining at certain restaurants before the fireworks at midnight.
The park allows pets in too. Perfect for those looking to celebrate the new year with their furry friends. If you are bringing a pet, do keep in mind that they might fear the fireworks. You would not want to trouble them nor other people at the park.
