New Year’s Eve makes for some pretty sick parties and we’re lucky enough to live in one of the party capitals of the world. In an attempt to top all our other yearly celebratory rituals, the Magic City has tons to offer for NYE. It’s no surprise that Tropicult’s events page has been blowing up with your event submissions and the result is a staggering variety of options for every budget.
We here at Tropicult know how hard it is to scroll through event listings with a smashing hangover, so we’ve selected our favs to create – Your 2014 Party Guide to NYE in the Magic City! All you’ve gotta do is make up your mind, get to the party, grab some bubbly and start getting wild.
Oh yeah, and don’t miss the ticket giveaways!
