New Year's Events
These parties and celebrations will be the perfect way to kick off the new year with style.
THE CHANLER
The festivities begin upon arrival and carry on well into the night with the mansion completely transformed into an opulent party space, from 6:00 PM - 1:00 AM.
A night of all-inclusive bespoke experiences awaits at every turn, see what your future holds with a private tarot reading, capture the night with a photo booth and dance the night away with an iconic DJ from Las Vegas.
For the pezzo di resistenza a black tie (optional) gala that includes a chef-curated multi-course meal at communal tables, live jazz music by the Creswell Club quartet and a midnight champagne toast to bring in the New Year. Finish the night with late-night bites—2024 awaits at The Chanler, Buon Anno!
The Vanderbilt: A Downtown Celebration
Make your way to the Vanderbilt in downtown Newport for a night to remember. Feel the bubbles of a Champagne Tower tickle your nose before toasting the New Year.

Start the New Year off with a splash.
A Wish Come True Annual Polar Plunge
Celebrating the 20th Anniversary!
Every New Years Day at precisely 12:00 PM, participants run into the winter waters at Easton's Beach, some dressed in costumes, some as part of teams and some in their bathing suits pulled from their stock of summer threads. The efforts are partly for fun, believe it or not, and partly for a good cause. The plunge raises money each year for the Make a Wish Foundation, comprised of tens of thousands of volunteers, donors and supporters who work to grant the wish of every child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition.
