New Year’s Eve at Seattle Center
New Year’s Eve at Seattle Center will look a bit different this year in efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19’s latest, highly transmissible variant. In keeping with COVID-19 public safety measures, no non-ticketed, public events are planned, and visitors to the grounds are asked to follow COVID-19 social distancing and masking protocols.
Those in search of celebration on the grounds are encouraged to check out live events at Seattle Center venues, where proof of vaccination is required, including Patton Oswalt Live: Who’s Ready to Laugh? at Marion Oliver McCaw Hall, Dave Chappelle and Friends at Climate Pledge Arena and INDULGENCE New Year’s Eve Bash! at Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP).
Fireworks will return to the Center this year… but not for in-person viewing. T-Mobile New Year’s at the Needle will present the first-ever live fireworks show augmented for live broadcast with mixed-reality effects synchronized to live pyrotechnics and lighting that can only be seen via TV or live stream. The spectacular augmented show will be choreographed to music simulcast on HITS 106.1, broadcasted locally on KING 5 and KONG, live streamed on king5.com, and available on the KING 5 mobile app.
Seattle Center Armory will be open for NYE, including its eateries, which will provide food and drink service until 11:30pm. Seattle Center Monorail will provide train service between SC and downtown until 1am, with a pause between 10:30pm and 12:20am. Metro buses will remain in service until 4am, and Center parking garages will be open as well.
Have a safe and very happy New Year from Seattle Center!
