Y’all aren’t gonna believe this, but pull out your calendar real quick. We are just a few days away from 2023.

That means it’s time to celebrate.

As always, we’ve scoured the internet pulling together all the music, dance parties and other celebrations we’ve been able to find so far for this year, and those are listed below. In addition, we know several local restaurants are offering special meals, including Bordinos, Theo’s, East Side Grill, Mockingbird Kitchen, and no doubt plenty of others. But this list is intended to be more about the dance parties.

We’ll likely add to this list between now and Friday. Feel free to drop us a line and let us know about anything we missed.

Be safe, and here’s to a better year for all of us in 2023. Happy New Year, everyone.
