Say a big sayonara to 2022.
We’re just over a week away from the new year and it’s about time we started locking in our New Year’s Eve plans. From that fancy nightclub club, to that party your friend of a friend of a friend is throwing, to those dreaded family get-togethers, we know you’re slammed with a ton of tempting options.
If you’re feeling a little dazed and confused, overwhelmed, or your mates just won’t make a damn decision, we’ve compiled a list of NYE and NYD events in and around the Geelong region to help you narrow it down.
