After two years of keeping it low key, we can finally enjoy parties as they should be - with loud music, dancing, singing, fun, feasting and erm…debauchery! And the best part is that New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are a weekend! As eclectic as the people of our fine city are, the parties follow suit. And while the themed parties aren’t strict, we feel you should dress to the nines, glam up, get out, and make the best of the night. So from Caribbean Nights to craft beers and EDM, here’s where you should be when 2023 comes knocking at your door! All ticket prices are inclusive of cover charges unless specified otherwise. Prices are subject to change closer to the date, so we suggest you book your tickets ASAP!
