Cebu's iconic panoramic destination, TOPS, is preparing to host a spectacular throwback celebration to welcome 2026. In partnership with BDO Unibank, the 2026 New Year Grand Countdown Dinner Gala is set for December 31, 2025, promising an unforgettable night of nostalgia, dining, and fireworks over the Queen City of the South.
A Nostalgic Journey to the 80s
This year's gala invites guests to step back in time to the vibrant era of the 1980s, the same decade when TOPS first opened its doors in 1985. The festivities will be held at the TOPS Events Space on the 3rd floor of The Circle, providing a stunning venue with breathtaking views of the Cebu skyline. This marks the first-ever New Year's Eve collaboration between the landmark destination and the country's leading bank, BDO.
An Evening of Unlimited Celebrations
The event space will open its doors at 6:00 in the evening. Guests will be treated to a sumptuous dinner buffet and cocktail party featuring unlimited wine, all accompanied by a live serenade to set the mood. The highlight of the night will be a grand panoramic fireworks display orchestrated by TOPS and BDO to spectacularly usher in the New Year with all attendees.
For those seeking an even more elevated experience, an exclusive add-on is available. Guests can purchase access to SKAI 360° for P300, valid from 9:00 p.m. until the New Year's Countdown. After the clock strikes midnight, the celebration will continue with a lively after-party.
Ticket Information and Regular Access
Tickets for the exclusive gala are priced at P2,500 per person. Advance tickets can be purchased at the TOPS Souvenir Shop and Montebello Villa Hotel. Interested parties can contact (032) 256-5000 or 0968-853-0511 for inquiries or follow TOPS' social media accounts for more details.
The management assures that Cebuanos and regular guests can still enjoy the iconic landmark with its standard rates on New Year's Eve. The TOPS bus service will maintain its regular routes from IT Park and back.
