New Year’s Eve will be here before we know it, and one thing is for sure: Revelers are ready to bid farewell to 2020 and enjoy the evening.

Thanks to the Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center, which is hosting one of its most star-studded, entertainment-packed New Year’s Eve Galas to date via livestream, guests can now celebrate in style – all from the safety of their homes.

The virtual Fifth Annual New Year’s Eve Gala will be held Thursday, Dec. 31 from 8-10 PM and will feature a diverse lineup that is sure to entertain the whole family.

Throughout the evening, emcee Craig Smith and Billboard Critics’ Choice Artist Meghan Cary will also be auctioning off big-ticket raffle items, including vacations, home improvement, golf outings, wine tastings, and more. Winners will be announced during the festivities.

“This year has been so tough on all of us, especially now during the holidays,” said Holly Brown, Uptown! President. “Which is why we felt it was more important than ever to celebrate our Fifth Annual New Year’s Gala and send the message to our loyal patrons, community, and artists that the show must go on!”

The gala will support Uptown!’s “Raise Up! the Curtain” Campaign to reopen the theater (after its shutdown due to COVID). Thanks to local philanthropist Penny Wilson, who has pledged a $150,000 challenge gift, donations to the campaign will now receive a dollar-for-dollar match, thus doubling the impact of each contribution.
