The Whatcom Museum is excited to announce its first-ever New Year's Eve celebration. On December 31, 2024, historic Old City Hall — one of the museum's two exhibition buildings — will be transformed. Ticketholders can dance to live music by local band favorite Baby Cakes while enjoying light appetizers and drinks from Tito's Handmade Vodka and Structures Brewing.
The festivities are perfect both for night owls just getting the evening started and early birds turning in before midnight: the museum will be counting down to 2025 with the Times Square ball drop in New York City, ringing in the new year at 9 p.m.
Tickets are $50 and include admission, one drink ticket (cash bar available for additional beverages), hors d'oeuvres, and a Champagne toast. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets on sale now on the Whatcom Museum website.
NYE @ Old City Hall is sponsored by Lynda Hinton with Windermere Real Estate and Kelsey Klevenberg, Edward Jones Financial Advisor. All proceeds benefit the Whatcom Museum, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. This is a 21+ event.
[Guests will enjoy live music by Bellingham band Baby Cakes as well as beverages courtesy of Tito's Handmade Vodka and Structures Brewing.]
