New Year's Eve Black Tie Admired, Not Required Celebration

Tuesday, December 31, 2024

Plan for a night of celebration at The Merrill Hotel this New Year's Eve! We're throwing another grand party in our Mississippi Ballroom and you're invited for a night of food, cocktails, and live entertainment from Lewis Knudsen and the Midwest Dueling Pianos! Double the pianos means double the fun as we roll into 2025!

The hotel's ticketed 21+ celebration begins at 7:00 pm in the beautiful 6th floor ballroom with live music from Lewis Knudsen as hors d’oeuvres and bites will be served from Maxwell’s On The River. Cash bars will be available throughout the night to be enjoyed as Midwest Dueling Pianos perform a unique and interactive show beginning at 9:15 pm offering wildly entertaining music and comedy.

The New Year's Eve Celebration is open to hotel guests, visitors, and locals alike. Join us for the party as we kiss 2024 good bye and welcome in the new year!
