Cap off your year with a trip to Vail for New Year’s Eve. The villages are full of celebratory events, including multi-course meals at restaurants, midnight Champagne toasts at hotels, dance parties at bars and other spectacular end-of-year Vail events. Here are some of the ways we love to celebrate as the new year rolls into town.
TORCHLIGHT PARADE & FIREWORKS
See the mountain light up as ski instructors create a serpentine parade down the mountain with lit flares. The parade is followed by a dazzling fireworks display that can often be seen across the valley. This celebration happens earlier in the evening, so you can share this special moment with the kiddos and still get them in bed at a decent hour.
NYE DINNER | Sweet Basil
Savor a New Year’s Eve dinner at one of Vail’s most iconic restaurants, Sweet Basil. Known for its decadent meals that use seasonal ingredients, this meal will knock your skis off. Sweet Basil is a popular holiday restaurant and was recently Michelin recommended, so plan to book in advance.
DANCING | Chasing Rabbits
Prepare to step into the world of disco decadence, lights, and extravagance as Chasing Rabbits invites you to relive the iconic magic of the Studio 54 era. Welcome the new year with an evening of immersing yourself in a sensory experience you won’t forget. A maze of rooms filled with DJs, magicians, dancers, and interactive entertainment awaits you.
Enjoy entertainment including DJ Sunnfors, ETHNO – Jeff Franca of Thievery Corporation, drag queens, disco dancers, mirror ladies, magicians and more!
