WHAT’S HAPPENING Even though Eugene isn’t technically a big city, we sure have a lot of nightlife events happening New Year’s Eve. If you’re still unsure of where you’re going to ring in the New Year, here are some spots to consider featuring live music, dancing and most likely a lot of fun. First off, Boogie Wonderland is going on at the Valley River Inn (1000 Valley River Way) with one of Eugene’s staple bands, Satin Love Orchestra. The “discolicious” group has been around since 1997, according to their Facebook. That event starts at 8 pm and is $60. Another great option is Wildcraft Cider Works’ (232 Lincoln Street) NYE Celebration, which features the bands Sol Seed, World’s Finest and Fortune’s Folly. That one also starts at 8 pm and the price ranges from $18-$20. Hi-Fi Music Hall (44 E. 7th Avenue) is holding its New Year’s Eve Psych Ball featuring The Shivas, Pancho + The Factory, Snow White and others starting at 9 pm. It’s also $18-$20. For another classic Eugene line-up, check out McDonald Theatre’s (1010 Wil- lamette Street) NYE festivities with Medium Troy and The Bohemian Dub Orchestra and other local acts. It’s at 8 pm from $15-$25. The Vet’s Club and Mac’s Nightclub (1626 Willamette Street) are also hosting their 15th Annual New Year’s Eve Bash with Soul Vibrator and the Soul Restoration Project upstairs in the Vet’s Ballroom and Michael Tracey and The Hi-Tones in Mac’s. Both shows begin at 8 pm and are $10-$15. You can also buy combo tickets, to go to both shows, for $20-$30. There are tons of other NYE parties and concerts happening. Check out our music listings and calendar for more. — Meerah Powell 14 December 28, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com ❄ THURSDAY DECEMBER 28 S U N R I S E 7: 4 6 A M ; S U N S E T 4 : 41 P M AV G.
