The 8 Best New Year’s Eve Events for Families in Nevada!

If Nevadans know one thing, it’s how to celebrate! If you can’t be in the Big Apple for New Year’s Eve, then the next best place (or maybe even the first best place) is most certainly Nevada. Check out these top eight family-friendly New Year’s Eve events in Nevada for a night to remember! 

1. Daily Discovery Experiences, Las Vegas, NV

Daily Discovery Experiences in Las Vegas is hosting a New Year celebration throughout the day. Bring your children between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to create “a collage inspired by hopes for the New Year,” among other activities depending on the age group.  

2. Magical Forest, Las Vegas, NV

Opportunity Village, one of Las Vegas’ most prominent charities, is hosting a “Magical Forest” event from the Friday after Thanksgiving all the way up through New Year’s Eve. Bring the entire family to experience a “winter wonderland with millions of sparkling lights.” 

3. New Year’s Eve Celebration at the Green Valley Public Library, Henderson, NV

Held on Dec. 30, children ages 3-11 are welcome to celebrate the New Year with crafts, stories, and sparkling cider. This is the perfect event for younger kids who want to get into the holiday spirit without going overboard. Many other libraries around the state have similar events.

6. New Year’s 5K Run/Walk, Churchill County, NV

The entry fee is $15 per person or $50 for a family of four and includes t-shirts. Breakfast is served after.

7. New Year’s Ski Party and Fireworks at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, Reno, NV

New Year’s Eve falls on a Sunday this year, so why not spend a weekend away at the Mt. Rose Ski resort? While you’re there, make sure to stop by their annual New Year’s Ski Party and Fireworks show.  

Happy New Year from Mt. Rose 🎆
