"If, like me, you don't like committing to any one thing on NYE because there's always so much going on and you don't want to miss out on the best happenings, you're in luck! Lindsay Costello of " Do This, Do That" fame and I have joined forces, scouring the internet for the cream of the absolute crop of NYE events on offer to those willing to brave the cold streets of Portland. Below is an smörgåsbord of goings on this December 31st."
"And remember, it would suck to spend the start of 2026 dead or in jail. Please don't drink or consume drugs and drive. As they always do, TriMet is offering free rides on all buses, MAX, and streetcars starting at 8 pm on NYE, as well as extending service into the wee hours. If the beauty of socialist transportation isn't your bag, call a cab to get from point A to point B if you've been consuming. NOLAN PARKER"
"For fans of global bass bangers, genre mashups, dancing past midnight DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid aren't exactly under-the-radar among clubgoers 'round these parts, and there's a good reason for that. The duo-who first formed for a New Year's Eve party 25 years ago-rattle windows with Desi bass, reggaeton, and darkwave chillers like nooooobody else in town. While the vibe commanders man the decks, Canadian performer Rayman Bhuller will drop by to drum the dhol, a traditional Indian double-headed instrument."
2025 brought a tumultuous year captured in exact measures and high expectations for 2026. Lindsay Costello and Nolan Parker curated a wide selection of Portland New Year's Eve events for people reluctant to commit to one plan. Events include club nights, global bass acts like DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid with Rayman Bhuller drumming the dhol, and heavy bands for metal fans. Harm-reduction advice urges people not to drink or use drugs and drive. TriMet offers free bus, MAX, and streetcar rides from 8 pm on NYE with extended service; taxis remain an alternative for impaired travelers.
