Looking for the best things to do in Dallas on New Year's Eve weekend to ring in 2025? Here are some events and activities to add to your list for this holiday weekend.

New Year's Eve is next week, but that doesn't mean the party hasn't already started. Head to Valley Ranch Library in Irving for Winterfest and New Year's Eve crafts, or see the Vitruvian Park Lights in Addison before they're gone on Jan. 1. If you're not quite ready to say goodbye to the holiday season, Cirque Musica: Holiday Wonderland will keep the vibe alive, and if you're feeling nostalgic for all things childhood, snag tickets to the opening weekend of Broadway Dallas' Peter Pan.

And, since Hanukka starts on the 25th, New Year's Eve weekend in Dallas has plenty of family-friendly events, like the 10th Annual Chanukah at Southlake Town Square, to help you celebrate!
