Countless Ways to Count Down to 2019
The holidays pass in a blur of shopping centres, twinkle lights, and holly jolly bearded men; before we know it we’re cleaning up discarded gift wrap and portioning leftover turkey. The holidays are a time to focus on loved ones, but after its all over, why not take a night to celebrate – just for you?
New Years Eve is the perfect excuse to dress up, get out of the house, and let loose after weeks of giving, and the Oceanside area is hosting a plethora of events to choose from to ring in 2019.
For those who love the idea of New Years Eve but are exhausted by the mere thought of staying out past midnight, head out to Nanoose Bay to ring in the new year in Central Standard Time. Celebrate New Year’s Eve Saskatchewan Style is hosted by the Nanaimo Ballroom Dance Society and is slated to run from 8pm to 11pm, with the countdown and a champagne toast scheduled for 10pm.
