Top Gay New Year’s Eve Parties 2021

Over the last 29 years, Tony and I have done so many different things on New Year’s Eve I tend to forget sometimes. When we first met we would to New York City and spend New Year’s Eve with my gay brother and his partner, Greg, at the time. After that, two good friends of ours started having home parties for NYE, and we loved them because we were so close to home. Then around 1999 we got into a routine where we spent New Year’s Eve up in Provincetown every year. We loved every minute of it. We did that for about 7 years and then we started going to house parties in New Hope, or making reservations at local restaurants. There was that one year in 2014 on New Year’s Eve when we had to cancel our restaurant plans because our 15-year-old dog was sick. And that night we drove him to the local Animal emergency room in 13-degree weather. We wound up putting him down that night, on New Year’s Eve. They did everything they could. It was time and we knew it. 

Then New Year’s Eve became a hit or miss for us, and now we mostly stay home and go to bed. We are not that old… middle-aged…but COVID is still around and we kind of like being home. It’s nice when you finally reach that age when you don’t feel obligated to go out for New Year’s Eve. 

However, there are still plenty of things happening for gay people on New Year’s Eve. 

New Year celebrations not to be missed this year include the return of the epic Masterbeat weekend in Los Angeles to the more intimate First Light Festival in PTown! From Amsterdam to Sydney, here are our editors top top gay New Year parties and events.

Here’s more.  This is more focused on global events, but it’s interesting to see what others are doing.
