Looking for something fun to do? Here are our recommendations of ways to ring in the new year in the Greater Merrimack Valley.
Go Out For Dinner
Whether you have a New Year’s party to attend or would rather spend it with just one person alone, going out to dinner on New Year’s Eve is a wonderful way to say farewell to the previous year. Reserve a table at one of the Greater Merrimack Valley’s wonderful restaurants, such as Forge & Vine in Groton or Liberty at Concord’s Colonial Inn. You can get dressed up, indulge in fine dining, and raise a toast to another year passing. It’s a great way to start or finish a festive New Years Eve.
Celebrate Early with the Kids
Are your kids a bit too young to stay up until midnight? Then give them a party they can remain awake for at the Discovery Museum. Bessie’s Rockin’ Noon Year’s Eve is free with museum admission, so you can have a blast at the party and explore the museum on the same day. Don’t worry about formal attire – instead, kids wear their best pajamas. Your children will make party hats and noise makers so they can cheer for the new year with a countdown to 12 pm and a Noon Years’ Eve ball drop.
Stay Overnight
Where and how you wake up on New Year’s Day can set the tone for your year. So why not pick a place that will be comfortable and full of modern amenities. The Greater Merrimack Valley has some amazing and luxurious places to stay. Some of the top recommendations include The Groton Inn, the Inn at Hastings Park in Lexington, and Chateau Merrimack Resort & Spa in Tyngsborough. You can sleep in on New Years Day in comfort, then head out to explore the nearby attractions. Or you can stay on-site and get started on your New Year’s resolutions, either by hitting the gym, eating a healthy breakfast, or focusing on relaxation and your mental health.
Don’t be a homebody on New Year’s Eve. Instead, ring in the new year in the Greater Merrimack Valley. Dine out, party with friends, treat yourself to a luxury hotel, and finish the year off right.
