First let’s take a look at New Year’s Eve (Wednesday, December 31) 🎉

Alright Babylon — we’re sending 2025 out with a mic drop and you’ve got options from “sing your feelings” to “eat like royalty” to “laugh until midnight sneaks up on you.” Kick things off at Snowy Farewell Karaoke Night at 5:00 PM in West Babylon (301 Bergen Ave) — because nothing says “new year, new me” like belting out a classic with zero fear. If you’re doing NYE the delicious way, grab a seat for New Year’s Eve Dinner at Belfast at 5:00 PM (101 N Wellwood Ave, Lindenhurst), then keep the party rolling with live music — Gotcha Covered at The Village Lanterne hits at 6:00 PM for that “cheers + sing-along” energy. Want comedy instead? Catch New Year’s Laughin’ Eve ‘25 at 6:00 PM (early show) or the 8:30 PM show here: New Year’s Laughin’ Eve ‘25 — because laughing your way into January is objectively the correct strategy. And if you’re going full glam, New Year’s Eve at Chateau La Mer starts at 8:00 PM (845 S Wellwood Ave, Lindenhurst) — major “dress up, show up, level up” vibes. Finally, if Belfast is your home base, end the night with New Year’s Eve at Belfast! at 9:00 PM and bring in midnight surrounded by good food, good people, and the kind of energy you want all year long.

New Year’s + Jan 1 Favorites 🥂

Whether you’re ringing in the New Year in heels, hoodies, or pajamas by noon the next day, Babylon has you covered. 🥂 This lineup is all about ending the year on a high note and easing into January the right way — with great food, big laughs, and low-pressure fun. From an elevated New Year’s Eve dinner and a laugh-out-loud comedy show to a relaxed New Year’s Day brunch and a hilariously on-brand round of Hangover Bingo, these events are proof that the celebration doesn’t stop when the clock hits midnight.

Wellness & Yoga 🧘

January is your permission slip to slow down, breathe deeper, and start the year feeling aligned instead of rushed. 🧘 This Wellness & Yoga lineup is all about intentional resets — grounding your energy under the Full Wolf Moon, melting stress away with gentle movement, aroma, and Reiki, and building a weekly rhythm of calm through breathwork and sound healing. If your New Year’s goal is to feel better in your body and mind (not just say you will), these experiences are where that promise begins.

Live Music & Concerts 🎸

If your New Year’s resolution includes turning the volume back up, Babylon’s live music scene is already ahead of you. 🎸 January kicks off with high-energy freestyle, electronic beats, and laid-back live sets that prove winter doesn’t slow the sound down — it turns it up. From packed nights at The Warehouse to intimate vibes at Sand City South, these shows are your excuse to get out, grab a drink, and let live music carry you straight into the new year.

Theater & Performing Arts 🎭

Winter is prime time for curtain calls, standing ovations, and nights where the spotlight does the talking. 🎭 Babylon’s Theater & Performing Arts scene starts the year strong with beloved classics, powerful storytelling, and unforgettable musical tributes. Whether you’re bringing the family to a feel-good favorite, diving into gripping drama, or singing along to an iconic voice brought back to life on stage, these performances are your invitation to experience January with a little more magic.

Classes & Workshops 🎨

New year, new skills. 🎨 January is the perfect time to learn something hands-on, creative, and surprisingly therapeutic — and Babylon’s workshops deliver exactly that. From cultivating your own sourdough starter to putting words on the page and turning a blank piece of wood into something proudly homemade, these classes are equal parts fun, social, and satisfying. Come curious, leave inspired (and possibly with something delicious or decorative to show for it).

Games & Geek Culture 🕹️

Strategy, skill, and a little friendly competition — Babylon’s Games & Geek Culture scene is kicking off the year in full boss-mode. 🕹️ Whether you’re slinging spells in a high-stakes Magic tournament, battling it out in a League of Legends skirmish, or jumping into the latest One Piece card release, these events are where fandom meets community. Come to compete, spectate, or just vibe with people who take their games seriously (but still know how to have fun).

Community & Networking 🤝

New year, new connections. 🤝 January is all about finding your people, strengthening support systems, and showing up for your community — and these events make it easy. From welcoming newcomers and building professional relationships to creating space for caregivers to connect, learn, and be supported, this lineup proves that Babylon is more than a place to live — it’s a place to belong.

Sports & Outdoors 🚴

Cold air, clear skies, and zero excuses. 🚴 Babylon’s Sports & Outdoors events prove that winter is still prime time to get moving, get outside, and reset your routine. Whether you’re rolling through the trails with a group ride, logging miles with fellow runners, or upgrading your gear without breaking the bank, these events are all about starting the year active, energized, and feeling good.

Food & Drink 🍽️

January may be the reset month, but that doesn’t mean skipping the fun. 🍽️ Babylon’s Food & Drink events serve up indulgence with a twist — from nostalgic soda-shop flavors to dinner experiences that mix great food with a little mystery. Whether you’re tasting something new, sipping something sweet, or letting a psychic guide the conversation between courses, these events prove winter dining is anything but boring.
