While The Forks hosted an early pyro show last Dec. 31 to kick off 2023, it’s moved festivities ahead a day (and subsequently a year forward) this time around. No other large public gathering offering the explosive display appears to be on 2024’s horizon.
Perhaps it signals a more moderate approach to 2024 after putting the dumpster fire that was 2023 in the rear view mirror. Whatever the case, there are still plenty of options for going out and ringing in the new year on Sunday.
Hargrave Street Market is making its play as the largest New Year’s Eve party, with a capacity of 2,500 people for a winter wonderland-themed venue boasting multiple live DJs and a midnight ball drop.
The dress code is formal/business casual, the VIP food menu (at Gusto North) sounds scrumptious, and tickets are being sold through a tier system, so the sooner the cheaper if True North (Square) is the direction you’re heading. VIP tickets are $125 plus fees, with regular admission at $40 and fees at last look and the party goes from 9-2 a.m.

The Manitoba Indigenous New Year’s Eve gala hosted by Berens River First Nation at RBC Convention Centre is split into a four-course dinner from 7-10 p.m. featuring a Kentucky Headhunters concert as well as local country acts Desiree Dorion and Nelson Little and a social where you can dance the night away (until 3 a.m. at least) with a ton of acts topped by Harlequin, Ernest Monias, and the C-Weed Band.
Social tickets are $75 and the full gala is $200.
The Metropolitan Entertainment Centre is taking a swing at a Studio 54 atmosphere for “the most extravagant NYE party in the city.”
It features three stages of dance music along with drag, stilt and flow performers, a magician, glitter booth and interactive art installations. Retro, fabulous and formal attire requested, with tickets about $45 or $62 for VIP.
The young ones can raise a glass – of ginger ale – to the new year about 12 hours ahead of schedule during the Top Hats & Tiaras event at the Children’s Museum.
The titular items will be supplied, with souvenir photographs available, and there’s live music, crafts, balloon creations and a balloon drop at noon. General admission fee of $12.25 applies to ages one and up for the event that runs from 11-1 p.m.
Just about every bar, hotel, restaurant and brewery in town has some form of New Year’s Eve party, so just a few more to note.
The Park Theatre has the Hot + Dirty Dance Party featuring members of the Dirty Catfish Brass Band and Dr. Hotbottom; the Exchange Event Centre is holding Monochromatic Midnight with black and white attire; the Wood Tavern has a ’90s-themed event, and the Albert hosts a Dark ’80s dance party.
The Windups get the jump on things with their annual New Year’s Eve eve show, on Dec. 30 of course, but this time at Times Change(d). There might be a few tickets left at the door, as with Times’ NYE show featuring Show Pony.
As mentioned, The Forks has New Year’s Day programming, while also on Jan. 1, the Park hosts the Wackydoodle Dance Party, with DJs Co-op and K Chedda spinning in the afternoon.
The Park has the Bloodshots as Nirvana and The 1221 as Green Day on Dec. 30, with Toque drawing from the classic rock Canadian songbook at Club Regent the same evening.
Rob Bebenek is at Rumor’s Comedy Club through the rest of 2023, with Chuck Burn at Yuk Yuk’s.
