New Year's Eve Events in New Zealand, 31st December

New Year's Eve (31st December) is the time to celebrate the past year and welcome in the next, with old friends and new. If you're on holiday in New Zealand for the New Year, you're bound to be within easy reach of the party spirit, be it at a small fireside, remote hut or campground, music event, fireworks extravaganza, cricket match or a festival dedicated to blowing things up!

Here's our pick of New Year's Eve events:

• Highlife NYE Experience - Matakana Country Park, Auckland

Put your party gear on and lace up your boogie shoes! Eight stages of music and themed party and chill-out areas, plus top Djs and over 50 live bands and acts. For more information, visit www.highlifeentertainment.co.nz.

• Men's One Day Cricket (Canterbury v Otago) - Aorangi Park, Timaru

Grab some strawberries and a few chilled beers and enjoy a relaxing day out watching some top cricketing action. For details of this and other matches, view New Zealand Cricket's fixtures.

• Island Time 2010 - Waiheke Island
