New Year's Eve at Vic Mathias Auditorium Shores, 2023: Watson Wire

 

Austin certainly knows how to have a good time. And this New Year’s Eve, folks from all over will be able to enjoy some great music and fun as we ring in 2024.   It was announced last week that Austin will be hosting CNN’s Central time zone celebration and countdown to the new year. CNN’s Sara Sidner and Cari Champion will join us during our annual party at Vic Mathias Auditorium Shores. Their coverage will start at 11:30 pm CST, but the big New Year’s Eve party kicks off at 7PM CST with live music from The Suffers and The Band of Heathens, plus food, fun, and of course, fireworks.   I’ll be there and hope you all will join us at Vic Mathias Auditorium Shores!   Event Tips   Before you don your sparkly party hats and head downtown, remember to plan accordingly and stay safe.
