NYE Celebration at Lanier Islands 12/31/2017 6:00 PM - 1/1/2018

Thu, 14 Dec 2017 11:26:24 GMT

We’re bringing in 2018 in style – with high-octane entertainment, delicious food, beautiful people, fabulous décor, and NEW this year – a spectacular fireworks show at the stroke of midnight ushering in 2018! Break the routine of celebrating at home, or partying in confined areas with other city revelers. Join us at ‘The Islands’ for an exclusive party, with the trendsetting crowd that knows how to balance adrenalin and fun. The Party This year's theme is 'Great Gatsby', and while we invite you to have some fun in your flapper dresses and three-piece suits - 'period-attire' is not required. Whatever you decide to wear you'll enjoy the evening's cuisine, location and the live music performed by Party Nation. This 8-piece cover band performs today's hits and timeless classics. The online reviews of their ever-growing fan base speaks volumes, and a quick online search of Party Nation will prepare you for a rockin' good time! The band has undeniable appeal - and will keep you dancing into the new year! There will be an open-bar, and food will be served buffet-style.
