Any ideas for a New Years eve for my Girl Friend and I in the Phoenix Area?

Question

I am not sure of what there is to do in Phoenix/Scottsdale/Glendale for New Years eve.

Answer 1

There will be city events everywhere as well as something at every bar, but you probably should think about getting tickets now. The below site always has good activity listings:

For bar events, pick up a copy of the New Times.

(from last year but most of the events will repeat)

Answer 2

You know, I have a suggestion of what NOT to do. I went to Scottsdales Champagne and Chefs downtown celebration last year (same theme this year) and it blew. There was not much of anything to do, the pass that got you into a greater area of entertainment was a joke, it just made 2 more stages available that played crappy music. The glam rock cover band screwed up the countdown so it was not a true 10, 9, 8....etc. There were a lot of people drunk and puking in the streets, and other than walk around there was just not much to do. It was sucky.. So maybe try Tempe, that looks like a much more fun party with better entertainment

Answer 3

I would go to Mill Avenue in Tempe and wander from venue to venue. Should be nice.

Answer 4

If you're not already invited to a party Mill avernue will always have you covered.

Answer 5

Stay home. It's amateur night. People act like morons on new years.

Answer 6

phoneix would be your best bet shying. and bars there as well movies as well ?
