Time’s ticking, folks, and we realized we need to start planning our New Year’s Eve. Lucky for us, Chattanooga has plenty of parties and events happening around town to fit the vibe of everyone’s celebration wants + needs.

From family-friendly events taking place earlier in the day to parties that go on until the sun rises, here’s a look at some of the ways to kiss 2022 goodbye and welcome 2023 with open arms. It’s best to plan now, especially as some of these events sell out fast.
