NEW YEAR’S EVE EVENTS IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA

We can hardly believe that 2016 is almost over. There is no better way to celebrate the successes, memories and events of 2016 than with family and friends at a local event or special dinner in the city. And of course, this is also an opportunity to make a toast to 2017 and look forward to a fresh start at the beginning of another new year.

Celebrate all of the above at a special New Year’s Eve event or prix fixe dinner served at one of Sacramento’s best restaurants!

Noon Year’s Eve at the Crocker Art Museum has become a beloved Sacramento annual tradition as families gather to count down to the new year at noon. This free event features live music, dance performances, and festive art activities throughout the museum. You can even explore the museum after the party, as it will be open for free from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on New Year’s Eve!

The Sky Spectacular in Old Sacramento is one of the region’s biggest New Year’s Eve celebrations, with two sky concerts, live entertainment, balloon artists, face painters, and lots of treats. This free, family-friendly event is something you don’t want to miss this year!
