New Year’s Eve in B.R.

The Red Stick is a party city, and there’s no shortage of ways to entertain yourself this New Year’s Eve. Get the evening started right at Boudreaux and Thibodeaux downtown, with their couples jitterbug contest from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. including a performance by the Circuit Breakers, then stick around for True to Life, who’ll break it down from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. New Year’s Day. Juban’s will count down the hours to midnight with a four course dinner and champagne, accompanied by the Ned Fasullo Orchestra. Get your reservations by calling 346-8422. 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. If it’s a walk down memory lane you want before taking the plunge into the next decade, try the 2010 Common Ground New Year’s Eve Party at the Lyceum Ballroom downtown, a salute to the heyday of Baton Rouge’s ’80s teen hangout, Club 2010. 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Visit projectofficeparty.com for more information and tickets.
