It’s almost the end of 2021, and that means it’s time to nail down New Year’s Eve plans.
But just in case you’re just now realizing that you haven’t, we’ve got a list of events around the city.
Of course, if none of them sound appealing, your living room is always a great venue — there’s no cover charge, the drinks are free and as DJ you’re free to play whatever music you want.
