New Year’s Eve is upon us, and if you’re looking to head out, there’s still plenty happening in and around Owen Sound.
Some events, like the annual REWIRED party at Heartwood Hall, are already sold out. But from family-friendly skating at the Julie McArthur Rec Centre to dinner and live music in Port Elgin, there are still options if you’re making last-minute plans. Just be sure to book soon: tickets and reservations are going quickly.
Full subscribers will find upcoming events featured below in our daily briefs, and months of local concerts, theatre, festivals, and more listed on our website.
🎉 Heading out? Plan your ride home ahead of time.
Taxis in Owen Sound remain hard to come by, especially on busy nights like this, so it’s a good idea to line up transportation before the celebrations begin. (Though given the weather forecast, this might just be a good one to stay in.)
From all of us here at Owen Sound Current, have a great New Year celebration, and we’ll be back in your inbox on Friday!
