New
Year's Eve In Ottawa
Crowne Plaza Hotel Ballroom
101 Lyon Street (Between Albert & Queen)
Tel: (613) 235-9550 x 223
It's Ottawa's biggest and best New Year's Eve party! We
started out in 1999 as a small local gathering that has
grown into one of the most popular New Year's Eve traditions
in Canada's capital city. Our bash has sold out every year
since its inception in 1999, when we started out with a
capacity of 80. Last year we expanded to 500 and sold out
before the Christmas holidays.
Back by popular demand for 2008 is our live band Sticks
'n Stones. If you are an Ottawa Senators fan you will
know Sticks 'n Stones, they have rocked Marshy's at Scotiabank
Place at many home games, as well as playing larger venues
as an opening act for headliners like Tom Cochrane.
In addition to live music, New Year's Eve In Ottawa features
table seating (special pricing for the purchase of a full
table of ten) and a plated dinner served at 8:00 PM. This
year we are featuring a rib steak dinner (alternatives
available for vegan and vegeterian guests).
Who attends this event? There is always a great mix of
people including teens and seniors, but New Year's Eve
In Ottawa always attracts large numbers from the 25+ crowd.
We tend to cater to people who want to have a good meal
and a good time, but without a frat party atmosphere.
If you enjoy danceable music that features guitars, drums,
keyboards, and singing then this is the place for you.
If you are looking for a barbershop quartet or a good
gangsta rap, you won't find it here.
We've got a beautiful ballroom, fun people, an awesome
rock and roll dance band, a delicious dinner, a big dance
floor, and there will be hats, noisemakers, and other
jazz at your table.
We're out to raise a little bit of money for LiveWorkPlay,
a charitable organization that supports people with intellectual
disabilities, but we are not out to gouge you in the process.
We work hard to keep our party affordable. Hosting a New
Year's Eve event is a big effort, but it is also tremendously
fun and we look forward to it every year. Hopefully you
will too!
Tickets may be purchased online, with all major credit
cards accepted.
Visit www.newyearseveinottawa.com
for tickets and additional information.
