Long Beach is gearing up to host a New Year's Eve bash. The city's calling all partygoers to come and revel in the festivities downtown where they can have their pick of free shows both at 9:00 PM and as the new year rolls in at midnight. For those with an eye for the best spots to catch the fireworks, the city’s got a map ready—just check their website for the details.

The city's iconic vessel is promising to quickly sell out with its DJ sets, live "Blazing Pianos," and a range of music to keep you dancing into 2023. Party enthusiasts can snack, sip on specialty drinks, and even visit a Whiskey Bar at Sir Winston's, as per a Facebook post by the City of Long Beach. To not miss out, check Queenmary.com for ticket information that also includes hotel deals.

Long Beach Transit offers free rides and extended hours that kick off after 5 p.m. and run just past the party’s end—till about 1:00 a.m. 

Behind this year's glitter-fest are sponsors @DLBA, Visit Long Beach, @TheQueenMary, and Shoreline Village, whose collaborations ensure the night is lit. For more specifics on the night's itinerary, just hop onto those city social media pages or their official site.
