Amid a spike in omicron-variant COVID-19 cases in King County that has left some public health officials again recommending that people stay home for the holiday, a number of Seattle New Year’s Eve parties, concerts, and events have been cancelled to close out 2021.

New Year’s Eve casualties of the pandemic:

  • Recently relocated and renovated The Crocodile’s “New Year’s Eve Freakout”
  • WaMu Theatre’s “Abduction” event
  • The Downtown Showbox’s New Year’s Eve concert
  • Chong the Nomad at The Tractor Tavern
  • Viennese New Year at The Seattle Symphony (Performances on Dec. 30 and Jan. 2 will proceed as scheduled.)
  • Shiba San at Q Nightclub
