WE DID IT!!!
Time to celebrate New Year's Eve Downtown. Another year in the books. And what a year it was.
Downtown Houston is well on it's way to becoming the true cultural heart of Houston. This is being accomplished by hard work from the city and local businesses and the people who live here.
COME DOWNTOWN AND CELEBRATE WITH THE CITY!!!!
There are so many events happening downtown for this holiday. Some are FREE to attend.
SHARE TAG INVITE YOUR FRIENDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
We will start posting about ALL of the parties. You can too. Let's make this a page were we have all the information at our fingertips about NYE downtown.
Now that you are considering celebrating with us, here is some information you may find helpful.
Check downtownhouston.org/parking to help find parking spots.
PARKING: THERE IS A BRAND NEW 800 car parking garage at Travis and Prairie. Please consider taking the MetroRail, Uber, Lyft, Taxi or using PARK & RIDE for the celebration. Please look for emergency no parking signs before parking. If you drive downtown, please use this website to locate a garage:www.downtownhoustonparking.org.
ATTIRE: This is New Year's Eve. Please dress accordingly. This is a chance to dress up and put on your best. Many locations will have a dress code. Some will not. Ladies the best part about Downtown is how close all the venues are to each other. Wearing heels downtown is much easier than other neighborhoods.
This page is intended as an informational page. Registration not required to attend any individual event. Each event may have it's own requirements.
By registering we will inform you of updates to any events downtown as we see them. We will also inform you of other events happening Downtown in the future.
Thank you so much for reading all of this. We are excited to ring in the new year with you!! And to reflect on the old one. Since you read this we think you have a strong interest in attending. Please consider sending a personal invite to one friend who you think would also love this event. At the end of the day, the most fun events are about the people who attend them. Bring us your most fun friend. We will do the same. We will all ring in the new year together.
***Downtownfest Houston is our page. Please check it out to see who we are and what we do.
If you want to be more active, join our group. Downtownfest Houston Community***
(At this time, this page is a placeholder. We will continue to post updates to it. We will not post anything we don't know to be true. PLEASE DON'T just assume whatever you want and then be mad that you made plans on your own assumptions. We will put in at least 100 hours of our own time collecting all the information we can find on this Holiday. Then we will put it into a FREE guide for you. If you don't like that or need information sooner, we invite you to do your own research. Heck share that with us and save us some time. We love you and we love Downtown Houston.)
PS-Majority of these events will be 21 and up. Please notice that we did not select Kid Friendly.
At this time we do not know if the city will have fireworks. They did in the past. Last few years they said no because of Super Bowl and Harvey. Fingers crossed that they bring it back. If they do we will post about it only when we know it to be true.
VIRAL EVENTS: We don't know if y'all will make this event viral. IF you do, we will be limited by this website in our ability to edit the page. Updates and information will go to those who have registered. And eventually in the form of the Holiday Guide which will also be pinned to the top of our Facebook Event Page. Didn't see it in your news feed? We don't know why Facebook would or would not show you an event. Didn't feel like manually going back to the page to see the pinned post? We can't help you there. That's your deal. Think we should just tell you when we know? Yeah. We do too. Register and then we can email you.
PROMISE: What we are promising is to make a Holiday Guide that has all of the information that we can find and know to be true. It will be in a graphical layout as a high quality image file. You may print it if you wish. If you have bad eye sight you can zoom in or ask a friend to read it for you. If you don't know how to zoom in, we can't help. We don't know your phone/computer.
FREE? Again we are doing all of this work for free. We think we are being helpful. If you don't, help us or ignore us. Join the community group or block us if you really don't want to see it.
FALSE ADVERTISING? We don't advertise. We do a lot of work and share it for free to be helpful. If your friend, tells you this is something it's not, call your friend out. If you don't read, you won't know what we are saying so it's not false. If one of the venues changes what they tell us, sorry for inconvenice. Our intent was to be helpful.
COMPRENDE? Most of you get it. COME DOWNTOWN There are a lot of cool places doing good things. About 0.0001% don't get it. They won't read all this.
