If you are planning to head out to celebrate this New Year’s Eve — whether casual or a bit more formal — there is plenty to do right here in Venice.

Sharky’s on the Pier

Partying on the beach while watching fireworks has become a Venice tradition.

This tropical bar/restaurant, 1600 Harbor Drive South, will once again host the festivities.

Beginning at 7 p.m., guests will enjoy featured entertainment by Triggerfish, a Southwest Florida band known for dance music, rock and classics, will return for the second year. A group of veteran musicians from Sarasota, Triggerfish specializes in pop-rock and country oldies. The group prides itself on performing an eclectic mix of tunes.

At midnight, a fireworks display will light up the night sky with the Venice Fishing Pier in the background.

VIP tickets are already sold out, but general admission tickets are still available at $15 per person until Dec. 20 and $20 per person after that. Food will be available for purchase at Sharky’s food truck.

Venice Performing Arts Center

Rock your way into the next Decade with Decades Rewind, at the performing arts hall, 1 Indian Ave., building 5, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

With music from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s in the afternoon and ’70s, ’80s and ’90s at night, the celebration of a new decade can last all day.

Tickets are $25-$60 per person, per performance. Call 941-218-3779 or visit veniceperformingartscenter.com.


Numerous restaurants and bars are planning New Year’s Eve celebrations. Contact your favorites for more information — or simply find a spot near the gulf and watch the fireworks for free.
