New Year's Eve Gala at the Lightner Museum - SOLD OUT

To celebrate their 75th Diamond Anniversary, the Lightner Museum begins with a New Year's Eve Gala on December 31, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. The Lightner Museum opened in the former Hotel Alcazar on January 1, 1948, so it's fitting that they begin their Diamond Jubilee year as clock chimes the New Year in 2023.

Guests have two choices for celebrating at this optional black tie event: attend the dinner and cocktail hour and stay for the countdown, or join the party at 10:00 p.m. and dance, drink and celebrate the new year. All guests must be 21 or over.

The dinner and countdown party begins at 7:00 p.m. with an open bar and cocktail reception, followed by a dinner catered by Chef's Garden. Live music will be provided by the Alberto Cebollero Trio.

Beginning at 10:00 p.m., dinner guests and those who elected to join them, can enjoy an open bar, hors d'oeuvres prepared by Chef's Garden, live music featuring Ramona and the Riot, and a midnight champagne toast and balloon drop.

Tickets for the New Year's Eve Countdown, from 10:00 p.m. through the balloon drop are $100.00 per person. All ticket holders must be 21 years or older. To purchase tickets, go here.
