The New Year is right around the corner and Addison County is ready to celebrate. Saturday, Dec. 31 is packed with festivities like Bristol’s Best Night, partying with The Grift at Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater, enjoying a prime rib dinner and dancing at the VFW, ice-skating and fireworks at the Middlebury Rec Field, or lounging at Notte with music by DJ Del Rue. Whatever you choose, don’t forget to raise a glass to all the amazing artists in our county.
BRISTOL BEST NIGHT
Bristol Best Night is a community-wide New Year’s Eve celebration at three venues in downtown Bristol, Vermont. Best Night is a project of The Watershed Center.
The Watershed Center is a non-profit corporation supported by local citizens. It was founded in 1995 to promote conservation and stewardship of the land. TWC provides public access to over 1,000 acres of healthy, beautiful, productive land – the 664-acre Waterworks Property, the 94-acre Lost Pond Forest,  the 194-acre Middle Forest, the 50-acre Merritt Heights, and the four-acre Edith Stock Community Forest in Bristol Village. Enjoy the land!
Tickets to Best Night come in the form of buttons which can be purchased ahead of time at local shops in Bristol and also at the door. 
Buttons: $10 in advance / $12 at the door. Children under 12 and seniors over 75 are admitted free.
