10 Festivals To Celebrate New Year's 2022

| December 09, 2021

New Year's Eve 2021 is a weekend that will be remembered, not only because it marks the new beginning but also the return of some of our favorite festivals. Unfortunately, SnowGlobe, recounted by many as one of New Year's most anticipated festivals, will not return this year due to COVID concerns. But there are still plenty of ways to ring in 2022, including Countdown NYE, Decadence, Lights All Night, and more. Mark your calendars because New Year's weekend is going to be a wild one.
