From parties and fireworks to music, live performances, restaurant celebrations, and family friendly new year’s activities, you will hardly lack something to keep you engaged on the night of 31^st.

Start off by visiting the Navy Pier. No New Year celebrations in Chicago are complete without a visit to this fascinating destination with rides, attractions, entertainment, and incredible  fireworks that are perfectly synchronized to some inspiring music and launched over Lake Michigan. You can walk by the lake or come in a boat to view the fireworks.

The New Year’s Eve most likely doesn’t end well without a party. In Chicago, there is more than you can handle. The Chicago Scene New Year’s Eve Party has been voted the best New Year’s party in Chicago by several media outlets. Join in and enjoy Chicago’s hottest DJ’s, 4 ballrooms, a breath-taking balloon drop, premium liquor served at over 40 fully staffed bars, and a champagne toast at midnight. You can also opt for the Big Night Chicago New Year’s Eve Gala, NYE Soiree at Hilton Chicago, NYE Soiree at JW MarriotChicago or  NYE at Hard Rock Hotel if you want to party like a rock star.
