RING IN THE NEW YEAR IN BEAR VALLEY
NYE Celebration
Join us for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration filled with music, excitement, and a touch of magic!
Kick off the evening with live music from Kiana Chanelle from 5:00–8:00 PM in the Cathedral Lounge. Then make your way over to Sky High and dance the night away as our live DJ spins your favorite tunes. Count down to midnight with a spectacular balloon drop in Sky High, and keep the celebration going outside at 12:05 AM with a dazzling fireworks display presented by the Bear Valley Business Association, lighting up the night sky in grand style.
Bring your friends, your family, and your best dance moves, this is one New Year’s Eve party you won’t want to miss!
