New Year's Eve Fun

Here are six events to ring in the new year.

Our Top Picks

Recommendation  #1
HopMonk Tavern

Dance into 2025 with Wonder Bread 5 at HopMonk's New Year's Eve Bash

Wonder Bread 5 is like the group of neighborhood kids that stayed together throughout the years. Best pals who still play for the fun and thrill of it. With over the top performances that engage the audience and often times make them part of the show, no two Wonder Bread 5 shows are the same! They consistently amaze their crowds wherever they go with a never ending stream of new and up to date material, while always remembering the party anthems of previous decades. From the latest hits of this week to 60s and 70s classics then on to 80s rock and dance hits, Wonder Bread 5 deliver and keep the dance floor packed all night.

Recommendation #2
Elks Lodge

How would you like to dance into the new year at a beautiful mansion?

The Unauthorized Rolling Stones are the headliner at the San Rafael Elks Lodge New Year's Eve party. Experience the energy, charisma, and timeless music of Mick Jagger (aka Rudy Colombini) and his bandmates as they perform all your favorite hits. From "Start Me Up" to "Paint It Black," you'll be singing and dancing along to every classic tune. No Stone will go unturned!

There will be hors d'oeuvres, desserts, and a Champagne toast at midnight.

Recommendation #3
Marin Center

Laugh your way into 2025 with the Bay Area's best stand-up comics at the New Year's Eve Comedy Showcase. This year's headliner is Don Friesen, and the hilarious Mike Baldwin will serve as your M.C.

If you missed Don's hilarious Showtime one-hour Special, "Ask Your Mom,” don’t miss his upcoming special “Best Foot Forward.” Engaging, clever, and just flat-out funny, Friesen ignites the stage with a playful, high-energy spoof of his life as a modern suburban dad, and (until recently) husband, who’s just trying to make sense out of the constantly-changing world around him. Everyday life has never been funnier.

Mike Baldwin won the grueling, 3-week-long Seattle International Comedy Competition, as well as Indianapolises’s Trial By Laughter.  He has two comedy albums, “Bees Can Taste With Their Feet”, and “Front To Back”, both of which shot up the charts online. Mike is best appreciated in person. He is one of the best live acts you will see this year!

Recommendation #4
Rancho Nicasio

Rancho Nicasio is closing out 2024 with a rockin' New Year's Celebration featuring the ILLEAGLES. Enjoy great music, dancing, a champagne toast, party favors, and East Coast ball drop (9pm).

From Life in the Fast Lane and Heartache Tonight, to swooning ballads Desperado and Best of My Love, ILLEAGLES not only reproduce the soaring guitars, multi-part harmonies and tightness of the Eagles, but also add their own brand of swagger and energy that keeps fans coming back over and over. It’s commonplace for a majority of the audience to start singing along on the first song, and continuing to sing until the show is over (or they lose their voices).

***

Tickets: $60 (does not include dinner)

** If you plan on dining before the show, they'll be accepting dinner reservations from 6pm - 8pm.
