Okada Manila, the Forbes 5-star integrated resort, welcomed 2026 with one of its most spectacular New Year’s Eve celebrations as they brought together music, entertainment, dining, and dazzling fireworks throughout the entire property. Headlined by its New Year’s Eve campaign, “Step Right Up to 2026: New Year’s Eve Countdown,” the celebration delivered an extraordinary night for guests, drawing thousands of people across various celebrations at Cove Manila, The Fountain, The Garden, and The Coral Lounge.

At Cove Manila, one of Asia’s most versatile indoor venues, Okada Manila staged its biggest concert of the year, making it one of the most anticipated highlights of the night. The New Year’s Eve Countdown Concert was headlined by Gary Valenciano, with special performances by Yeng Constantino, Randy Santiago, DJ Pretty Dragon, DJ Tom Taus, and DJ Sofia Miguel. Hosted by Regine Tolentino and MC Smurff, the event kept the energy high as guests celebrated into the first hours of 2026. The event was sponsored by Coca-Cola and San Miguel Beer.

The Fountain served as the resort’s open-air countdown venue, welcoming guests to a full-scale New Year’s Eve Countdown Celebration hosted by Ana Ramsey. Performances by Michael Pangilinan, Marko Rudio, JM Dela Cerna, and Mariel Montellano led up to a synchronized countdown featuring Okada Manila’s signature Fountain show and grand fireworks display.

The Garden offered families and groups a vibrant open-air setting to welcome the New Year, with sweeping views of the midnight fireworks show. The public viewing area accommodated over a thousand guests and provided a lively space for gathering under the night sky. The Coral Lounge featured entertainment and curated food packages, creating a cozy yet festive countdown experience.

Alongside the evening’s live performances, guests ushered in the New Year with memorable in-dining experiences across the resort. Select restaurants, including Medley Buffet, featured New Year’s Eve special spreads and media noche offerings, giving families and groups a festive way to gather and celebrate over thoughtfully prepared meals before the midnight countdown.
