The City of Calgary hosts a free public event in the central Olympic Plaza on new years eve, offering entertainment and fireworks to greet the new year in style.

Elsewhere across Calgary there will also be a great range of NYE celebrations, with a vast selection of top hotels, bars, restaurants and nightclubs offering their own new years eve parties.

Olympic Plaza New Years Eve Party

The family friendly event usually gets underway and 7pm and has entertainment throughout the evening, including live music, dancing, fire pits and ice carving. There will also be food trucks throughout the area, as well as art installations and roaming performers out in the streets.

There will also be outdoor ice skating. The Countdown Ball then drops at midnight, followed by the spectacular fireworks display at Olympic Plaza.

Zoolights Years Eve

For those with families one of the most popular new year events is the annual NYE party at Calgary Zoo, where the fabulously titled Zoo Years Eve includes Zoolights light shows, fire pits and live entertainment throughout the evening.

The event lasts from 6-9pm. You can get more details and buy your tickets online here.
