Crystal Ball
International Market Square, Minneapolis
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, this event has grown into one of the largest and longest running NYE events in the Midwest. This year’s lineup includes local headliner, Har Mar Superstar and tons of other performers and DJs. An added plus – a shuttle service running to and from downtown and uptown will help people avoid the nearly impossible task of getting a cab on NYE.
A Masked Affair
Muse Event Center, Minneapolis
Complimentary masks will be handed out to those without their own at this North Loop party. The Muse Event Center recently underwent a $4 million renovation and no expense will be spared in providing attendees with two rooms of music and world class aerialists.
Dawes
Varsity Theater, Minneapolis
This Dinkytown venue is one of the best in the city and this NYE it’ll have people swaying to the American folk-rock of Los Angeles band, Dawes. Having grown wildly popular amongst listeners of The Current, this event is sure to be packed with fans and the fact that it’s also a NYE party is just icing on the cake.
Baby New Year’s Time Traveling Diaper Party #3
Bryant Lake Bowl Theater, Minneapolis
And now for something completely different, an early-bird event for families who are looking to be home when the clock strikes midnight. Complete with a faux countdown, the show will feature comedians and is safe for all ages.
A Black & White Affair
Uptown Cafeteria, Minneapolis
Just a $5 cover gets you into this Uptown gathering. DJ Brian Poulson will provide the music and a black and white photo booth will be available to capture the memories. Contests, prizes and party favors are also promised.
Roaring 20s New Year’s Eve Bash
The Tangiers, Minneapolis
Head into the New Year by traveling back in time at this roaring 1920s themed party. The swanky setting of The Tangiers restaurant will fittingly act as a speakeasy for the night to all of the flappers and bow-tied gents in attendance.
Now brush up on your “Auld Land Syne” lyrics and get ready to stay up way past your bedtime. Happy New Year!
