Add the Annual New Year’s Eve Fireworks and Parade to Your Itinerary
Your end-of-December trip to Jackson Hole is an amazing opportunity to put the finishing touches on the year with some well-deserved time on the slopes. For many travelers heading in this direction in the name of New Year’s fun, nothing stands out on the itinerary quite like the time they spend exploring the runs and trails over at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Whether you’re one for skiing or an expert on a snowboard, this ski resort is one that never fails to impress.
It’s also a central hub for New Year’s celebration when December 31 comes around once again. The entertainment begins with the annual Glow Worm Parade which is hosted near the Sweetwater Gondola starting at 4:45 pm. It’s an event that invites the littlest ones in your traveling crew to come dressed in their ski best and grab a glow stick before being a part of a mini torchlight parade on the slopes!
There’s no cost to attend and no sign-up required for this fun and family-friendly experience that the kids are sure to love on New Year’s Eve. Afterward, the big kid version of the torchlight parade gets underway to celebrate the new year in impressive style. Around 6:00 pm, adult skiers will take their torchlights to the slopes and perform an impressive display of illumination that’s always a visual delight. Fireworks follow the torchlight parade and give spectators even more to celebrate as the new year arrives in Jackson Hole.
Dance, Sip, and Dine the Night Away
When you can’t wait to include plenty of music, dance, and delicious flavors into your New Year’s Eve celebration, your trip to Jackson Hole should include some quality time at places like the Mangy Moose. This popular bar and eatery is known for its annual New Year’s Eve party where you’re invited to boogie the night away before watching fireworks from a picture-perfect vantage point on the outdoor deck. Live music, libations, and fantastic fare are all typically part of the lineup making it a one-stop-shop for New Year’s Eve fun. Just be sure to purchase your tickets online in advance to make sure there’s room for your entire crew at this holiday party that’s sure to sell out fast.
