    New Year's Eve always includes some fantastic events around Dallas-Fort Worth, at which revelers can dance, count down to midnight, and take in some spectacular fireworks. Presented below are some of your best options to finish out the decade and bring in 2020 in style.

    Still looking for dinner reservations? Check out our list of restaurants that will open their doors for New Year's Eve dining, too. Then recover with brunch on New Year's Day.

    Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark presents Roaring '20 New Year's Celebration
    Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark will be in a celebratory mood all day long, but things will kick up once the sun goes down. Guests can slide into the new year with all-night, family-friendly fun, including DJ music, a New Year’s Eve “duck drop” at 6 pm, 9 pm, and midnight, duck races, and other festive activities. Guests can upgrade to a buffet dinner to avoid the standard pizza and hot dogs fare.

    10th Annual Dallas NYE Ball
    The Dallas NYE Ball is considered one of the best parties in the area, and it's not hard to see why. It features three party floors with two banquet rooms and one club. There will be different styles of music on each floor, including throwback, mainstream, salsa, and hip hop, as well as different attractions, including the newly added casino. Bars on every floor, party games, and much more will help celebrate 2020.

    New Year's at the Symphony
    Both the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra will celebrate New Year's Eve with special concerts. The DSO's concert at Meyerson Symphony Center will feature lively waltzes from the Strauss dynasty and an exclusive Meyerson ‘Til Midnight after party. The FWSO's concert at Bass Performance Hall will feature a program of George Gershwin’s greatest hits, including "Rhapsody in Blue," "An American in Paris," and more.

    Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert with The Allman Betts Band and Asleep at the Wheel
    This is not your typical New Year's Eve event, but since Lynyrd Skynyrd claims this is their final tour, it makes for an interesting way to close out the decade. The concert, which also features The Allman Betts Band and Texas heroes Asleep at the Wheel, also happens to be the kickoff event for the NHL Winter Classic, which will take place in Dallas for the first time on New Year's Day when the Dallas Stars face the Nashville Predators at Cotton Bowl Stadium.

    Texas Live presents Lone Star NYE Live
    At this event, located next door to the nearly-completed Globe Life Field in Arlington, guests will enjoy live music and a DJ, specialty food and drink packages, NYE party favors, cash cannon blasts, champagne toast with a midnight countdown with the specially designed 12-foot ball, and other surprises. Guests are encouraged to dress "Solid Gold" and experience "The Ocho," a Las Vegas-style party inside Troy’s.

    Four Day Weekend presents New Year's Eve Party
    People on both sides of Dallas-Fort Worth can enjoy Four Day Weekend's end-of-the-year show. Both the Dallas and Fort Worth events will feature the hilarious interactive comedy show, a cocktail-style dinner, a ticket to a future Four Day Weekend performance, a copy of Four Day Weekend’s best-selling book, Happy Accidents, a champagne toast, party favors, and a DJ with dancing after the show.

    The Statler presents Black and White New Year's Eve Party
    The historic Statler Ballroom will transform into a modern-day re-creation of Truman Capote’s legendary 1966 "Party Of The Century." All tickets include access to ballroom, two drink tickets, late night food stations from 10 pm-2 am, live entertainment, party flare, and a champagne toast at midnight. VIP and hotel package options are available.

    Cole Swindell in concert
    Billy Bob's Texas almost always puts on its headliners at the late hour of 10:30 pm, a time that will be conducive to ringing in the new year with this concert by rising country star Cole Swindell. Swindell is a relatively late bloomer, finding success in his thirties with three big albums, including 2018's No. 1 All of It. Billy Bob's isn't advertising anything else special about the night, but it would a surprise if there weren't a few bonuses.

    Reunion Tower Over The Top NYE
    Finally, you can take in 360-degree, panoramic fireworks spectacular launching from Reunion Tower at midnight. One of the largest shows of its kind in the Central time zone will be a 10-minute show featuring imaginative pyrotechnic and LED lighting effects visible for miles. Reunion Tower and Lawn are not open for fireworks viewing, but anywhere in downtown Dallas or along the Trinity River will be prime spots to watch the show. There will be an official City of Dallas watch party at Dallas City Hall Plaza, complete with food trucks, drinks, and a performance by Castro.

    Kesha unleashes 2026 Freedom Tour that includes Dallas concert date

    Kesha will perform at Dos Equis Pavilion on August 7, 2026.

    Pop singer Kesha is celebrating her independence from record labels with her 2026 The Freedom Tour, which will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Friday, August 7.

    The 30-city tour will start on May 23 in Chula Vista, California, traveling to cities in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Ireland over the course of three-plus months.

    In addition to Dallas, Kesha will perform in Austin on August 9. The tour follows her 2025 The Tits Out Tour, which went to Dallas and Houston, among other cities.

    Although the previous tour was in support of her 2025 album, . (PERIOD), Kesha's first release on her new independent music label, Kesha Records, this tour seems to be leaning into her newfound emancipation.

    According to a release, "Kesha is stepping into a new era - one defined by radical self-expression, spiritual resilience, and rebellious joy. The Freedom Tour will bring fans into a high-voltage world where glitter meets grit, pop anthems meet spiritual awakening, and survival becomes a celebration."

    The performer promises "a spectacle that blends massive pop production with intimate moments of truth," featuring "surreal visuals, cathartic sing-alongs, and the kind of emotional release that transforms arenas into spiritual safe places."

    Tickets will be available starting with a Citi presale on Tuesday, March 24 at 10 am, followed by an artist presale on Wednesday, March 25 at 10 am.

    Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, March 27 at 10 am at Keshaofficial.com.
