“Prohibition NYE has been a part of events in Downtown LA for over a decade. The iconic Union Station has been at the center of it all. This year, we’re excited for CHROMEO to ring in the new year with their amazing set along with live jazz and burlesque. We hope people continue to enjoy the Prohibition experience as they start a new year!”
For ten dazzling years, Prohibition NYE at Union Station has held the crown for Los Angeles’ most electrifying New Year’s Eve celebration. But what makes this retro-spectacular stand out from the glittering pack? Is it the seductive speakeasy vibes, the infectious rhythm of live jazz, or the jaw-dropping 60-foot midnight ball drop? While these elements certainly contribute to its magic, Prohibition NYE’s legacy rests on a foundation far deeper than sequins and bootleg spin.
Firstly, it was a pioneer. In a landscape of generic New Year’s bashes, Prohibition NYE dared to be different. Transporting guests to the flamboyant era of the 1920s, it sparked a trend of immersive, themed parties that have become the gold standard for festive revelry.
Secondly, it’s a master of reinvention. While the core essence of the 1920s remains, Prohibition NYE never succumbs to stagnation. Each year brings fresh surprises, from headlining acts like CHROMEO this year to burlesque performances and innovative cocktail concoctions. The organizers understand that nostalgia thrives on novelty, ensuring the experience stays fresh and captivating.
Thirdly, it’s a love letter to Los Angeles. Union Station, a magnificent monument to the city’s architectural heritage, serves as the perfect backdrop for this celebration. Dancing under the soaring vaulted ceilings, one can’t help but feel connected to the city’s vibrant history and vibrant present.
Prohibition NYE isn’t just a party; it’s an experience. It’s a chance to dress to the nines, let loose to the intoxicating blend of live music and DJ sets, and ring in the new year with a touch of Gatsby-esque glamour. It’s a testament to the enduring allure of a bygone era, expertly infused with modern sensibilities.
Still, while countless New Year’s Eve parties vie for attention, Prohibition NYE remains L.A.’s most significant because it goes beyond the fleeting fizz of champagne and confetti. It’s a journey back in time, a celebration of creativity, and a vibrant embrace of the city’s spirit. It’s a reminder that some traditions, when reimagined with wit and passion, can become timeless.
This year’s countdown is brought to Downtown by by KCRW featuring an intoxicating blend of live jazz ensembles and electrifying beats from headliners Chromeo, with delectable bites and premium open bar featuring Johnnie Walker’s iconic scotch.
Prohibition NYE isn’t just a party; it’s a time capsule transporting you to a bygone era, reimagined with modern flair for a truly unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration.
