Goodbye, 2021….now here’s a round up of parties and celebrations to ring in 2022. What a year it has been and Arizonans can enjoy a (masked) flight across the country to enjoy a New Year’s Eve to close out 2021.

There has perhaps been no other year that we would like to forget more. Our series on what to do for COVID relief (not the illness, but the Pandemic effects) will introduce you to everything you need to know to enjoy life again.

Items listed in parentheses are included in the entry fee. Please note that most venues have more expensive VIP options with more perks than those listed below. 

Update: Please note the ongoing public health crisis has caused many events to cancel or pivot in concept.
