Pasay hosts the Philippines' major Mall of Asia New Year's Eve fireworks displays.
SM Mall of Asia is a large shopping and entertainment complex in Pasay, Metro Manila, located beside Manila Bay. Its expansive grounds and bayfront setting have made it a prominent venue for New Year's Eve concerts and fireworks. The displays are often described in media as among the Philippines' largest, although exact scale and programming can vary by year.
A frequent geographic mix-up is answering Manila because the event is in Metro Manila. Pasay is an independent highly urbanized city within the metropolitan region, while Manila is a separate city. The Mall of Asia complex opened in 2006 and includes an arena, convention facilities, retail areas, and outdoor spaces.
