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
