Party like it’s 2022: Your guide to New Year’s Eve celebrations and beyond in Sacramento
It’s the end of the year. It’s a wrap for 2021. Thank you for continuously submitting your events to The Sacramento Bee’s Equity Lab. What was supposed to be a monthly calendar, has developed into a weekly guide for enjoying your stay in the capital region, whether visiting for the weekend, or you’re looking for things to do around town.
With the year coming to a close, there will be plenty of places to celebrate the ball dropping. Although the annual firework show in Sacramento and Last Supper Society dinner and afterparty were canceled, there are still other venues and events you can enjoy for those not looking to stay in.
Remember to submit future events through our Google Form available, or by sending us an email or direct message on social media.
Be sure to be safe when going out on New Year’s Eve. Be sure to wear a mask often and stay home if you are experiencing any cold or flu-like symptoms. Always remember to drive responsibly and find a designated driver so you can enjoy your night.
Happy New Year, Sacramento. Here’s a list of enjoyable activities:
