NYE Celebration & Dance Party
About this Event

Back by popular demand...our 10th NYE's party in the last eleven years!

If you want to be kissed, then the best day for it is on New Year's Eve when the clock strikes midnight. The new year symbolizes change and an opportunity for a better future. Announcing a New Year Celebration & Dance Party. Let's finish off 2024 with a kiss and ring in 2025 with smeared lipstick. What better way is there to finish off the year, than being with all of your friends and/or meeting some new friends? Dance the night away as professional, DJ David X plays the top hits of yesterday & today. We'll bring in the new year with a toast, a countdown, a balloon drop, and maybe a consensual kiss for the lucky ones. Also, we will have party favors as well as a discounted rate on hotel rooms.

Why do people kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve?
Tradition dictates that the NYE midnight kiss is the quintessential manifestation of what you want and what you will draw to you during the year ahead. If you subscribe to this folklore, this kiss may have some meaning. If you are with your partner and don't kiss at midnight or receive a bad kiss, things aren’t looking so great for that relationship in 2025. Or if you are single, superstition says that if you are not kissing someone at midnight, it foreshadows a year of loneliness. Superstitious or not, just make sure that all of your kisses are consensual!

FORMAT
There will be a cocktail mixer at the beginning of the party to afford attendees the chance to meet new friends. Then DJ David X will pump up the music around 8:30 PM. Dressy attire is recommended, but not required.
