Please note:
We are still hashing out the 2017 details. The following is for the 2016 party.
The Two-Night New Year's Package is bookable online, but the entertainment details and exact schedule are not yet set for 2017
Prepare for a full-blown bash from the first cocktail to the last dance. Beginning with hors d'oeuvres and progressing to a gourmet dinner with live music, the evening will heat up with the Valley Cats taking the stage after dinner. Dance your socks off and get ready for the champagne toast, balloon drop and 2017! A great way to cap off the year and to finish out a Yosemite weekend.
Come up on Friday and enjoy a day in the great outdoors for relaxation and reflection and then come back for a night of revelry!
If you can't find a babysitter, no problem. Kids aged four to twelve are invited to their own themed, age-appropriate parties. For the younger ones, babysitting is available too. See below for full information about Tenaya Kids News Years Eve.
