New Year’s Eve means a lot of things to a lot of people every year. Renewal, hope, and an opportunity to craft resolutions are always big reasons to celebrate. This year, we’ll all have even more — few will be sad to see 2020 go. So the bashes are sure to be blowouts.
Here’s some of what locals and visitors alike can look forward to on their San Diego New Year’s Eve in “America’s Finest City.”
Kids’ New Year’s Eve Musical Celebration
Why should the grownups have all the fun? A collection of artists who have made the Cal Performances at Home season such a success have put together a final hurrah for 2021. Musicians of all stripes have recorded performances especially for this magical evening, choosing pieces kids are sure to enjoy. Ring in 2021 in style and song with this online event.
Krishna Lounge Meditation and Vegan Dinner
If you’re looking for an event that trends more toward the spiritual than the spirited, then you’ll want to look into the weekly meditation event at the Krishna Lounge. Their regular Thursday guided-meditation event takes place on New Year’s Eve, and it’ll be a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the challenges of the past year, as well as center your energy for the one to come. The meditation session will be followed by a vegan dinner reception, so attendees will be able to nourish their soul and their system at the same time.
