New Year's Eve parties and events to check out in Vancouver for 2023
It’s not even Christmas yet, but already we’re thinking about our New Year’s plans.
Whether you hate it or love it, New Year’s Eve is a time to drink champagne, wear a sparkly outfit, and say farewell to the year before.
There are those who make resolutions for the coming year, those who plan to stay inside and keep things low-key (preferably with some takeout and a good movie), and then there are those who plan to ring in midnight in a big way ā this list is for the latter.
We’ve already rounded up some of the best sit-down dinners happening in Vancouver this New Year’s Eve, but these are the best parties and events happening at bars around the city.
