Don’t miss these
Aqueous. 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 31 at Town Ballroom, 681 Main St. Tickets are $30 in advance (townballroom.com, etix.com). Despite the high number of NYE events, there’s a limited number of high quality shows. Town Ballroom checks the “music first,” “local” and “vaccinated patrons only” boxes.
A Very Groovy New Year’s Eve. 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 31. The Terrace at Delaware Park, 199 Lincoln Parkway. $225 for a couple, $125 individual (resy.com, terracebuffalo.com). Prefer theme parties? Buffalo Rising and the Terrace at Delaware Park present a dark, alluringly weird event where patrons are encouraged to wear anything from scuba gear, bathrobes, go-go boots and crushed velvet suits, and you never know which “roaming character” you might encounter.
Banchetti’s New Year’s Eve Bash. 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 31. Banchetti By Rizzo’s, 550 N. French Road, East Amherst. Tickets are $125 (691-4045). A three-pack of cover bands – Nerds Gone Wild, Flipside and Route 33 – is set to jolt the Northtowns to life at a venue that’s well-honed at parties.
