Wrapping Up 2024 at The Dole Mansion on New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve 2024 is sure to be ‘A Magical Evening’ where you can roam between four unique experiences within the beautiful, historic Dole property after enjoying complimentary valet parking!

Leading up to the midnight hour, there will be a champagne tasting and bourbon tasting, where Matt Jaye will perform while you sip your libation of choice and enjoy a fondue spread.

Randy Ingram will be on the 1920 Steinway piano in the mansion, where you will be able to take a seat and enjoy nosh and nibbles provided by Wild Asparagus Catering, with a menu including smoked salmon, shrimp cocktail, and much more.

Lou’s Lounge will feature Ryan Shephard bringing Jazz to the Prohibition-era speakeasy vibe. Don’t be surprised to hear Motown in the mix. Ryan will be time traveling with his versatile repertoire of songs. Maple & Yam Café will provide the hors d’oeuvres in Lou’s with a spread that includes tenderloin on crostini, stuffed mushrooms, and shrimp and mango cups, to name a few terrific options.

Last but certainly not least, Entertainment Media’s DJ Dave will get the party started in the ballroom, where ModernDay Romeos will take the stage later in the evening. MDR is known for their fun, energetic, and interactive style.

Brother’s BBQ will offer a hearty menu of smoked brisket, pulled pork, and grilled chicken skewers, as well as mac & cheese and more.

The Inside Scoop will create a Retro Candy Shoppe in the ballroom, open all night long. Late night fare is provided by Smash’d Burger, offering mini sliders.

Just before midnight, MDR will do the countdown, then 2,000 balloons will fall, confetti poppers will be blasting, and champagne flutes will be clinking.

The party is from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m! What a spectacular and magical way to ring in 2025!
