New Year’s Eve Parties in Amarillo To Get Excited About

Amarillo's first skyscraper was opened on New Year's Eve in 1925. This year, the building is celebrating its 90th birthday with a New Year's Eve gala. This will be a one-of-a-kind event, with actors portraying pioneers of the 1920's and jazz musicians playing all night. The event starts at 9:30 p.m. in the building's lobby. Admission is free.

This is a fun and unique way to ring in the new year. Gallery on 7th will host a murder-mystery party, set in the 1950's at the Bourbon Jazz Club. Solve the death of a fellow party goer before the ball drops. Tickets are $50-$75.

This will be a joint event with the Wyndham Garden Hotel. There will be drinks, food, photo booths, and party favors. Dance the night away to Smooth Condition, who will be performing at Pour House. The attire is masquerade. Cover charge is $10.
