Salt Lake City New Years Eve 2024

Guide to new years eve 2023-2024 in SLC; NYE fireworks, events, Decadence Festival, parties & hotels

Salt Lake City is a very popular new years eve venue, with a wide range of special events and celebrations to welcome the new year in style. One of the main features of the occasion has in the past been the EVE SLC party, but this has now been replaced with a new event called the Last Hurrah.

The fact that Salt Lake City (commonly shortened to SLC - it is a bit of a mouthful otherwise!) has such a dramatic setting, with the Wasatch and Oquirrh mountain ranges dominating the skyline makes for an especially great location to watch the midnight fireworks, and also helps get it a decent spot on our bucket list!

One Last Hurrah

The Last Hurrah in Salt Lake City, brings crowds down to the downtown area for a fantastic new year party with live music throughout the evening and of course the midnight countdown followed by a spectacular fireworks display.

The Last Hurrah is still a free event to the public at The Gateway and runs from 8pm to midnight. With live music and pop up bars and loads of activities for kids of all ages, there's plenty to keep you entertained.

There are plenty of food trucks and bars available to keep you fed and watered during the event. Blindlove and Cardinal Bloom are the deadliners this year.

The local public transport services are also typically extended into the early hours on new years eve to make it easier for everyone to get home afterwards. Please do double check with the organisers regarding this year's Eve, in case of any changes.

Parties & Events

Most people in SLC for new years, especially those with families, will be at the public party at least at some point, but for those with livelier requirements there are plenty parties at the city's bars and clubs to choose from too.
