Free Press Houston New Year’s Eve

Not all of the New Year’s Eve parties are for families or traditionalists. For a little wilder event, go to Free Press Houston’s New Year’s Eve party at Sam Houston Park in downtown. This party and concert is strictly for the 18-and-up crowd, and the $40 general admission tickets sell out quickly. The concert lineup includes acts like George Clinton, Girl Talk and Big Freedia, among others. Be ready for a night of fun because you will be dancing the night away at this concert event with a party atmosphere.

Ars Lyrica is at it again, bringing the sounds of the Baroque period to your New Year’s Eve. You can watch as soprano singers, flautists, violinists and other artists serenade you this New Year’s Eve with Baroque music from Venice. After the concert, you can also attend the holiday gathering at the adjacent Sarofim Hall in the Hobby Center while wearing your Venetian carnival mask. A separate ticket is required to attend the gala. Tickets for the concert range from $35 to $55 and the gala costs $75 per person.
New Year’s Eve Houston
Discovery Green
1001 Avenida de las Americas
Houston, Texas 77010
(713) 400-7336
www.newyearsevelive.com
The biggest bash this New Year’s Eve in Houston is also the best priced – it’s free. At Discovery Green, you can rock away the night with a national concert act that has yet to be named, but last year, KC and the Sunshine Band performed at the event. You can also listen to dueling Djs and other musical acts at this party while you finish off the night with a fireworks display at midnight. Families with small children can still enjoy a New Year’s concert because the national act is family friendly and there is a children’s confetti drop at 9 p.m.

Great to know about this concert for youth’s like me. I usually went out with my family on New Year party at best event space but this year I am planning to attend such a concert with my friends. Surely it will be a great experience.
