The Best New Year’s Day Events

Sometimes we just don’t want the party to end. If you don’t want to limit yourself to one night of celebration this New Year’s, consider these New Year’s Day bar crawls, events and parades to help you ring in 2018 — and keep on ringing.

Mummer’s Parade, Philadelphia

The Mummer’s Parade is a yearly event that stars the colorfully costumed Mummers marching down Broad Street. Surrounding bars in the area open their doors to festivalgoers to keep the libations flowing into the New Year. Create your own bar crawl throughout the city.

London’s New Year’s Day Parade

Hit the streets of London for a holiday extravaganza you won’t want to miss. Follow the loud parade of floats and marching bands, and hit up some pubs along the way to keep the celebration going. 

Field Day, Sydney Australia

If you’re a live music lover, this New Year’s Day Festival is for you. Ears still ringing from NYE? Who cares! Jam out to artists like Flume, DJ Snake and Schoolboy Q all day long and have a bright, warm start to your New Year in Sydney, Australia.

New Year’s Day Pajama Crawl, Santa Monica

Feel like just rolling out of bed (or skipping sleep altogether) to keep the festivities going? Join the New Year’s Day Pajama Crawl in Santa Monica, Calif., to sip Champagne and get silly in your footie pajamas to ring in 2018.
