It’s been a crazy year that is soon coming to an end. That means it’s time to start thinking about how to bring in the new year. If you are planning to go out to celebrate with friends or loved ones, here are some New Year’s Eve events near you.

CN Tower NYE Party

Ring in the new year above the city at the CN Tower’s 360 Restaurant. Enjoy a glass of sparkling champagne while being mesmerized by the fabulous views of the city. Chef John Morris has created a 4-course meal for the event, with vegan options available. 

Family Mardi Gras Extravaganza

Looking to do something more family friendly? Head to the Ascott Parc Event Centre in Vaughan for an all-ages, 3-course, sit-down dinner, complete with a pizza station, grilled cheese station and ice cream cookie sandwich station. Plus, it’s open bar for mom and dad (or whoever is not driving).

An Elegant Affair

Those who are single and looking to mingle can bring in the new year at Toronto’s Best Singles New Year’s Eve Party: An Elegant Affair. This sexy, sophisticated celebration can be enjoyed with old friends and new. You may even need the company of that special someone on one of the most magical nights of the year.

Virtual Party

There are plenty around the GTA, including trivia nights and virtual dinner parties. You can also celebrate the new year with the AGO, where you can make your own disco ball and dance the night away with their DJ for the night, DJ Iced Misto.

Pot-luck with friends

Rather than celebrate virtually, have a pot-luck and celebrate with some close friends. If you’re still not comfortable having people in your home, you can do this virtually, with everyone delivering their dish to each person’s home, then celebrating together on Zoom.
