New Year's Eve is almost here, so break out the champagne and the sparkling cider—2023 is about to make its debut! If all-night celebrations are a thing of the past, you can still make the most of New Year's Eve with family-friendly festivities throughout New Jersey.

We've rounded up New Year's Eve events the whole family can enjoy together, from indoor and outdoor theme park adventures to New Year's Eve fireworks and First Night celebrations. And if the little ones, or tired parents, are ready to pack it in early, make it an afternoon fete with a noontime confetti countdown.

Looking for pre-New Year's entertainment? Keep busy with these 25+ things to do this holiday break, and be sure to check our Family Activity Calendar for more happenings. Happy New Year, New Jersey!
