Tucson has plenty of options to leave the old year behind in style and drink to the hope of an awesome new life this year. Here, you can choose everything, from a fantastic dinner show to numerous head-spinning parties. Let's explore the options!
New Year's Eve Bowl Bash (December 31, 2023)
After the annual bowl game, residents of Tucson usually gather downtown of the city—in Tucson's Times Square. The NY Bowl Bash is a popular event, which involves a lot of beer drinking, live entertainment, and food tasting. Guests of all ages are welcome here, and you don't need a ticket to attend the party.
Hotel Congress celebration (December 31, 2023)
New Year's Eve at Hotel Congress is one of the best bashes in town. If a night of fine dining is on your festive to-do list, head straight to Hotel Congress. This place is the perfect spot to savor the last meal of this year, as the hotel's chefs have prepared a four-course dinner with extravagant meals and matching drinks. And if you feel like going big, stay for the whole night and ring in the New Year with dancing and fireworks gazing from the hotel's cozy rooftop. The NYE party begins at 8 pm, and we suggest making your reservation in advance.
