2024 is inching closer, and if you know FTWtoday, you're aware that we're big planners.

So, "for the sake of auld lang syne," we've rounded up a few New Year's Eve events around Cowtown to mark on your calendar.

Bonus: Trinity Metro will offer free rides on all services in Tarrant County on NYE. Stay safe, FTW.
