Downtown Kava is a creative space, and their parties are their chance to share that with everyone! Their 2023  New Year's Eve party was a Time Traveler's Ball, where guests dressed as their favorite time period—or concocted something from the future—to spend the evening dancing to a live DJ. They also offered a special toast at midnight.

The amazing Ellie Lee helped usher in the New Year at the Celtic Ray Public House with her amazing rock, blues, and funk guitar stylings. 

TT's Tiki Bar rang in the New Year with Majesty of Rock performing the music of Journey and Styx, with special guests The Bango Bango's! They offered VIP seating, dinner buffet, party favors and champagne at midnight. You never know who you'll see playing at TT's, it's a definite local favorite, for patrons and bands alike.
