Colorado Springs Philharmonic
Ring in the new year with the best music found in town! The Colorado Springs Philharmonic performs at the Pikes Peak Center for the Performing Arts. The show starts at 8pm on December 31st, with tickets at $19 or $12 if you are a student. Classic and Broadway hits will get you in a party spirit. Make a date of it and hit up a great restaurant nearby. Try Shuga’s, the Melting Pot, Phantom Canyon, or the Blue Star (make reservations as soon as possible!)
New Years At the Broadmoor
Every year the Broadmoor goes all out for a New Year’s Eve celebration not to be missed. An entire package is available starting at $263 per person based on double-occupancy (no getting behind the wheel at the end of the night!) The package includes: Accommodations for one night, incidental service fee, Gala dinner and entertainment tickets for each person on the package (Ken Miller and the dazzling 25-piece BROADMOOR Pops Orchestra, along with special guests and surprises galore) and 30% discount off of published Suite rates.
If you’re tired of the same o same o, make 2012 one to remember by ringing it in high style. For more information and to book your stay, visit: www.broadmoor.com then click holiday packages to view more details about the New Year’s Eve Gala.
Watch Fireworks Show on Pikes Peak
Every year since 1922, the AdAmAn Club has hiked the east slope of Pikes Peak and put on a dazzling fireworks show to be seen miles away on a clear night. The AdAmAn Club began as 5 mountaineers who decided to hike up Pikes Peak on December 30th and 31st to light off fireworks. Every year since the Club selects one person to add to the group, hence the name Add A Man. You can join a list of folks to be selected as a guest climber in hopes of becoming a full-fledged member someday, although the website also lets those interested that you may be a guest climber for 10 years before getting an invitation. Consider it good practice in the meantime.
For those not interested in hiking the icy, snow drifted and -50 windchill mountain side, pull up a chair facing the peak and enjoy your hot cocoa as the fireworks ignite at the stoke of midnight. It really is a beautiful sight to behold as you hope for all wonderful things to come in the new year.
