Where do you plan to ring in the New Year? If your answer isn’t “Chicago,” you’re missing out. On December 31 st , the Windy City will be hosting the world’s largest New Year’s Eve party. You can find this party of epic proportions at the Congress Plaza Hotel, one of the city’s most historic landmarks. Chicago New Year’s Eve Party offers attendees a festive venue that blends a luxurious gala environment with the exclusivity of a night club. You’ll feel a change of energy as soon as you walk through the door.
Spanning from 9:00 pm to 1:30 am, the Chicago New Year’s Eve Party welcomes more than 3,000 people each year, including some of the city’s A-list New Year’s clientele. The venue features multiple party rooms and dance floors, allowing party-goers to spread out and enjoy the party in multiple environments. At midnight, there is a massive celebration that kicks off the start of the New Year that follows a complimentary pre-party. Afterwards, there is a complimentary post-party with purchase of a ticket. Both general admission and VIP admission tickets are available. You can also choose to splurge on table service to ensure you get some of the best seats in the house.
Included in the price of a ticket are beverages (beer, liquor, wine, and champagne) from multiple bars, as well as a food buffet and appetizers. The event will have more than 50 servers and bartenders working, meaning no long lines. Specialized drinks are also available. The all-inclusive event also features entertainment, a celebrity host, and a celebrity DJ. Inside the venue you’ll find state-of-the-art sound and lighting equipment, party favors and decorations, and a coat check available at a minimal charge. At midnight there is a balloon drop.
When you splurge on VIP admission into the Chicago New Year’s Eve Party, you’ll receive everything that’s available to general admission holders, plus more. In addition to getting into the party an hour early, you’ll have access to upgraded alcohol options, a pasta buffet, a wide variety of appetizers, and desserts made by some of Chicago’s top chefs. You’ll also have access to multiple VIP party areas, the ballrooms, and the VIP balcony in the Great Ballroom. Another great perk for VIP ticket holders is the shared VIP seating area which is not available for those with only general admission tickets.
The layout of the event and seating arrangements were carefully developed to ensure comfort for all. Main event ticket holders can expect more of a reception-style event that includes the venue’s spacious ballroom complex, but with minimal seating to create a comfortable crowd flow. However, seating is available for VIP attendees. There is no formal dress code enforced. However, you should dress your best in upscale attire. For men, this generally means club attire or black tie. For the ladies, a stylish cocktail dress or formal gown is acceptable. To get into the event, you will need to bring a government-issued photo ID with date of birth and your event ticket.
There will be multiple areas in the venue offering different entertainment. If you are considering bottle service during the Chicago New Year’s Eve Party, be sure to reserve your table early. When you get bottle service, you will receive everything that is included in the general admission and the VIP ticket meal package and amenities, as well as top shelf bottle service including Red Bull and champagne. You will also have top shelf bottles of spirits and champagnes delivered to your table. A VIP hostess will seat your party. Celebrate the New Year in style at the Chicago New Year’s Eve Party.
