Craft an evening out based on your style.

by

How do you want to ring in the New Year? Southwest Florida offers plenty of options, whether you're looking for a relaxed evening or one with a bit more excitement.

On the water: Pure Florida and the Naples Princess offer a party on the Gulf with their New Year's Eve cruises.

With a blast: A Southwest Florida tradition, firework displays will be held at the Naples Pier and on Fort Myers Beach.

With a laugh: Spend the evening with Tom Cotter at Off The Hook Comedy Club.

On a full stomach: Plenty of restaurants have special New Year's Eve specials. Might we recommend 1500 South, Timeless, Sea Salt, Society and DeRomo's?

With a countdown: There's a ball drop (and other festivities) in downtown Fort Myers, south Cape Coral, Dixie Roadhouse (four ball drops, actually) and The Ranch.
