Doc's New Year's Eve Celebration with the Doc Watkins Orchestra - Dance Floor is Open!
Thu, Dec 31
Dress up and spend the last night of the year in the 1936 Tower Theatre on Westheimer. A big band plays, the dance floor is open, and the champagne is poured.
Pick the show that suits your night. The Pre-Party runs 7:00 to 9:00, early enough to dance, raise a glass, and still make it to another party. The Celebration starts at 10 and carries you to midnight with an epic countdown.
Your ticket gets you the show, a champagne toast and party favors. Dinner is not included.
This is our second year ringing in the new year, and the first one with Doc Watkins on the bandstand. He's the bandleader and pianist who brought this room back to life. Don't miss him with his orchestra!
