Have you made plans for New Year’s Eve yet? Los Angeles offers some of the best NYE events on the West Coast, and these are just some of our favorite ways to ring in the new year in the City of Angels.
BEST FOR FAMILIES
N.Y.E.L.A. at Grand Park
The three-block greenspace between the Music Center and City Hall will be packed with family-friendly attractions for all ages. DJs and live bands will provide entertainment from three different stages, while vendors sell food ranging from tacos to funnel cakes. Get your picture taken at the photo booth then count down to the new year with a new, interactive countdown featuring 3-D digital video mapping on two sides of City Hall. This will be an alcohol-free, family-friendly event, so no alcohol will be permitted in the event space.
Cost: FREE!
