Austin New Years Events 2023
New Year’s Eve is a night of grand expectations, especially for those of us who have been swept off our feet by movies like When Harry Met Sally. Hollywood makes perfect the one night a year when we ceremoniously bid the past 365 days adieu. NYE should be dedicated to sending off the old year and ringing in the new surrounded by good friends, a curated flow of danceable music, and, of course, champagne fountains.
Well, maybe that’s just my fantasy as crafted by the clever mind of Nora Ephron, may she rest in peace. Maybe your perfect New Year’s Eve involves a ball drop, a delicious meal, or crazy costumes. No matter how you like it, this night of nights has a way of becoming more complicated than it should be.
The perfect New Year’s Eve takes planning, but thankfully we live in a city that provides something exciting to do for everyone. So, if you find yourself googling ‘New Years Eve 2023 Austin Parties’ or ‘NYE 2023 Austin Parties’ we have you covered with this list below.

Austin New Years Events – New Year’s Eve 2023 Parties
The Mohawk presents: Ghostland Observatory

Ghostland Observatory’s entire approach to music – sonically, aesthetically, conceptually – is essentially a melding of the two distinctly different personalities of its two members, Thomas Ross Turner and Aaron Behrens. Behrens and Turner formed Ghostland Observatory in Austin in 2003 and haven’t looked back since.
They now sell out prominent venues across the country, have played at Lollapalooza, Bonaroo, Coachella, and the Austin City Limits music festival, which they headlined, and continue to play at various music festivals and venues around the globe to an ever-increasing fan base, thanks to their now-famous live shows.
