New Years Eve At Home GRK
Celebrating New Year’s Eve

Daytime events and “Noon Year Eve” parties and celebrations are popping up everywhere these days, and for good reason. We all want to just have a good time and make memories. Counting down to noon can be just as fun as counting down to midnight, after all!

Bonus: many of these fun family celebrations are happening earlier in the day, so if you have found a babysitter or are able to get out as adults later on, there will still be time. Cheers to that!
