The year may be coming to an end, but the fun is only just beginning here in Richmond. One thing this city knows how to do is party, especially on New Year’s Eve. If you’re planning a trip to Richmond for the holidays, or even if you already live here in the River City, you may be wondering where to go on New Year’s Eve for a good time, and I think I can help with that.
Come December 31st, there’s going to be a party pretty much on every corner of the city and it’s almost impossible to stop by every single one in a night. That’s why it’s important to have a game plan and find the best New Year’s Eve parties in the city ahead of time, and I can help with that.
I spent a lot of time recently scouring the city for things to do on New Year’s Eve in Richmond, and I certainly did not come back empty-handed. Down below, you’ll find a list I’ve put together containing all the most fun and exciting events and parties across the city. If you’re not sure where to start your night of debauchery on New Year’s Eve, then you need to keep on reading and you’ll know exactly where to go for the best NYE parties in Richmond.
