Ring in 2015 with Local New Year’s Eve Festivities
By now, you’ve probably got all of your Christmas plans in order—lunch with the immediate family, dinner with the in-laws, and an entire day of unwrapping gifts. But soon after, New Year’s Eve will be sneaking up on you, and if you’d rather not spend the evening bored at home, then we have some local suggestions to bring festive excitement to ring in 2015:
- Wintergreen Resort, Wintergreen: “Seeing Fireworks light up the slopes is truly a magical experience!” Wintergreen Resort is a popular New Year’s Eve destination. Whether you’re enjoying a new menu at the Edge, dining and dancing in the Commonwealth Ballroom, or taking in the fireworks from the slopes, it’ll be one memorable night.
- Oceanwide Seafood Bar & Grill, Nellysford: “Give 2014 a proper send-off with great food and drinks! Featuring all things Low Country in a laid back atmosphere.” This local restaurant offers fresh seafood and a low-key atmosphere to make your New Year’s Eve delicious and fun. As one TripAdvisor reviewer says, “Dining at Oceanwide is reminiscent of being at one of those wonderful out-of-the way places at the Outer Banks and it's right here in Nellysford, VA.”
- First Night Virginia 2015, Charlottesville: This Charlottesville Festival of the Arts is back for its 33rd year of revelry, hosting a huge variety of musicians, jugglers, dancers, storytellers, and a spirit walk. “The mission of First Night Virginia is to bring families together and unite the community in all its diversity.” This promises to be an enjoyable night out and an exciting New Year’s Eve.
- Rapunzel’s Gala New Year’s Eve Bash, Lovingston: What better way is there to celebrate the arrival of 2015 than at an eclectic arts venue with local wine and beer, fair trade coffee and tea, a potluck buffet, and four live bands? “Have a coffee or tea, relax and enjoy local talent at its best in this bohemian environment. You will be back for more!” (TripAdvisor Reviewer ChefGeorge1).
All of these New Year’s Eve celebrations are only a quick drive away from Afton Mountain Bed & Breakfast, so book your room, mark your calendar, and relax, knowing your New Year’s Eve is all planned out.
