Los Angeles is a world-famous city known for being the home of Hollywood and all the rich, famous celebrities you see on TV and in movies. The good news is that you don’t have to be a part of the wealthy elite to enjoy a night of partying on New Year’s Eve when you’re in the City of Angels, though, and when it comes to NYE celebrations, LA is hard to top, that’s for sure.
Being fortunate enough to have spent past holidays in LA, I am always dying to go back. There are countless New Year’s Eve events and parties that go on around Los Angeles. There are so many celebrations, in fact, that it’s almost impossible to visit every single one before midnight, so it helps to know where the most fun and exciting events are to help plan ahead for the night. That’s where I come in.
I’ve put together a guide to help all my fellow partygoers indulge in a night of proper debauchery by narrowing down all the best New Year’s Eve events and parties in Los Angeles. Just take a look at this list down below and you’ll know exactly where to head on NYE in LA for an awesome night out.
