Snacks and games will be available. At 9:00 p.m., kids of all ages can enjoy the balloon drop. Tickets are $67 for adults and $34 for children 12 and under.
For something finer and more luxurious, choose the elegant black tie affair at The Ahwahnee with a six course meal, live music, dancing, and a toast at midnight for $243 per person. You’ll be able to ring in the New Year in style.
