Welcome in 2019 with friends and neighbors, new and old. Gualala Arts will host a New Year’s Eve Dinner Party Monday, December 31, 2018.

Doors open with food, music, and more beginning at 7 pm. The Ball drops at 9 pm.

On Monday, December 31, Gualala Arts says “so long” to 2018 with the return of the New York New Year’s Eve Party that includes a dinner, drinks and dancing. The all-inclusive price is $50 per person.

The evening starts with a cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres from 6 to 7 pm with offerings from the no-host martini bar that also sells single malt scotch, microbrew beers, fine wines and “mocktails” throughout the evening. Fred Adler, KTDE radio personality, will provide background music from his library of classic New Year’s Eve musical standards. A lovingly home-made buffet dinner prepared by Gualala Arts Culinary Guild will be set out at 7 pm. In fact, those who remember the Hats Off Dinner know Chef Sheri Kirby who (by popular demand) will take charge New Year’s Eve. New York New Year’s Eve Live coverage of New York’s Times Square ball dropping will be simulcast on the big screen to bring in the New Year at 9 pm west coast time.

One of the truly enjoyable ways to plan the evening is purchasing a table of six or eight, then sharing the costs with everyone. If you are more adventurous and like to meet new people, buy single or couple tickets and be seated with others who enjoy our beautiful coastal lifestyle. Bringing in the New Year among friends is one of the joys of living in a small close-knit community. $50 per person; Purchase before December 24th. For advance purchase:
