What To Do In Byron Bay On Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve 2022
If you’re lucky enough to escape to Byron Bay over Christmas and New Year’s Eve this year, then you are in for a treat! In between lazy beach walks, swimming pool afternoons, and breezy days, there are also quite a few special events popping up for the two big days. Below, we have put together our wrap up of Christmas Day long lunches and New Year’s Eve celebrations (including a free, family-friendly NYE event!). We recommend booking tickets to the ticketed events as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
Of course, if you prefer to stay in or ‘see where the day takes you’, the facilities at The Lord Byron Hotel lend themselves to holiday bliss. Take it easy by the swimming pool and spa, have a hit of Christmas tennis with the kids, or stock up on your favourite supplies and take to the BBQ area under our cabana for drinks and dinner under the stars.
