Concerts, costume parties, and comedy—Portland's got all you need to send off the year we hope to forget and ring in something new. If you’re seeing this one out from under a duvet, we get it. If, however, you wanna party like it’s 1999 (RIP Prince), we’ve found the best places to do so this December 31.

Soul Vaccination

Start off your night by raising a glass at Jimmy Mak’s final show. The venerable jazz and blues club goes out in style with Rose City favorites Soul Vaccination. This energetic 12-piece band brings serious funk and soul to another beloved Portland haunt that’s soon to be no more. 

New Year’s Squeeze
8 p.m., Holocene
Pick out your best black, white, and gold for a night that Main Squeeze and Holocene hope will help you forget the awful suck that was 2016.

Songs and Stories
