Getting out for New Year’s Eve can become one of the priciest nights of the year, but thankfully DTLA’s Grand Park continues to offer an affordable and family-friendly option for the holiday. Flanked by the Music Center and City Hall, every inch of this three-block green space and three other surrounding blocks are covered in celebration, including City Hall, which will be used as a 22-story canvas for a countdown projection. Crowds can dance the year away to a soundtrack of DJ-driven tunes and live bands across a pair of stages while hitting up a selection of food trucks. Admission is free, and for more information, click here. 200 N Grand Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90012 Dec. 31
