If you’re on a budget after holiday shopping but determined to end the season with a bang, not to worry. There are plenty of ways to ring in the new year without your bank account going in the red. We’ve rounded up such opportunities for merrymaking on a dime here, with events under $20 from New Years Eve Is A Drag! to Quarterworld’s NYE Extravaganza. For more ideas, check out our main guide to New Year’s Eve events in Portland.
Stay safe out there, Portland! As always, get tested and stay home if you feel sick—and get your booster while it’s hot. Speaking of omicron, we advise checking directly with venues for the latest updates—including health guidelines, postponements, and cancellations—before heading out.
All events take place Friday, December 31.
