If You’re Looking for a List of New Years Eve Events Near Me…

You’ve found it!

NYE Grand Rapids – you could use it to catch up on your sleep, or you can pick from one of the epic events below to help say goodbye to 2019 and ring in 2020.

To help you decide where you’ll land on Dec 31, 2109, I curated a list of 15 New Years Eve Grand Rapids parties that will check at least one of your boxes. And then I added all of the others in for good measure, just in case.

Creative Themes and NYE Events in Grand Rapids

We might not be a big city but we still have great vibes. The party at the BOB is BIG and full of energy. Max’s South Sea Hideaway is celebrating it’s first NYE with all of the rum and the tiki-themed food to go with it. Uccello’s is going underground with a speakeasy theme, and the Amway + JW are back at it with their bling bling ballroom bashes.

If you ask 20 Monroe, their NYE celebration in Grand Rapids (the Resolution Ball) is one of the best in the midwest – and they have the votes to prove it.

Go red carpet with Rockwell Republic or go all in on disco fever at the Knickerbocker.

And then there are the throwback parties for anyone wanting a retro vibe – Paddock Place’s Great Gatsby NYE party being one of them. Reference the list below for vibes, ticket info, and a short recap of each event.

…But before we get to the list, let’s address a few common questions people looking to celebrate New Years Eve in Grand Rapids have.

Grand Rapids New Years Eve FAQ

Q: Does Grand Rapids Have a Ball Drop?

A: Yes! The Grand Rapids Ball Drop has been happening on and off over the years. It used to happen in Rosa Parks Circle but most recently has moved to a location near the intersection of Michigan & Monroe NW outside of DeVos Place. If you want the ultimate experience, get the VIP tickets.

Q: Is there anything else to do that’s not at a bar?

A: The Grand Rapids Griffins play an early New Years Eve game every year, complete with fireworks and post-game skate.

Q: I’m going to drink a lot. What are my options?

A: Thanks for not driving drunk. One option is to get the room package that goes along with the Ballroom Bashes at the Amway or JW. Ubers and cabs are really hard to find on NYE so have a plan B if possible. DD’s, we appreciate you!
