Immersive New Year's Eve night with a multi-course meal by Dominique Crenn, behind-the-scenes experiences and a discotheque finale at The Long Center.
The Long Center is taking over New Year's Eve on December 31, 2027, with the New Year's Eve Social Club, a night that lets you step behind the curtain and become part of the show rather than just watching it from a seat. The evening kicks off with a multi-course meal by Dominique Crenn, chef and owner of the three-Michelin-starred Atelier Crenn. In November 2018, she became the first female chef in the US to receive three Michelin stars. Dinner is served on the Meredith Family Stage in Dell Hall, and later the room transforms into a discotheque.
Beyond the dining area, the night folds in immersive behind-the-scenes experiences. You can wander through the Star Dressing Room and Backstage, stop at a Chef's Surprise culinary station, and visit the VIP ME! Celebrity Lounge. There's also the Going Up 'Elevated' Lift and the Ushering In '27 guest experience guides, all leading up to a fireworks finale. The whole thing is designed to let you interact with the entertainers, chefs, and stagehands who usually stay out of sight.

It's worth remembering what the venue does the rest of the year. The Long Center is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting creativity in all its forms, known for its free summer concert series The Drop-In and the Long Reach for the Arts program, which provides free arts experiences for K-12 students through Amplify Austin. This New Year's Eve event is one of the bigger nights on their calendar, and it's happening at Dell Hall in Austin on December 31, 2027.
