Food, Friends & (maybe) Fireworks: NYE at the Pike

Quick update — the First Night Fullerton event was canceled due to the weather. Late notice, yes. But we’re not letting a few rain sprinkles spoil our fun!

One plan got canceled. The night did not.

Here’s what we’re doing instead:
8:30pm – Gather at Kalaveras - Long Beach
We’ll kick things off with appetizer hour — a little food, a little drink, and great conversation to get the night going.

9:30pm – Movie time at Cinemark at the Pike
We’re catching the 9:30pm showing of Anaconda, the action-comedy starring Jack Black and Paul Rudd. Fun, over-the-top, and exactly the kind of movie that's perfect for New Year’s Eve.

Midnight – Countdown & Fireworks (weather permitting)
After the movie, if it's not raining, we’ll walk over to Shoreline Village for the New Year’s Eve celebration. DJ vibes, a festive crowd, and fireworks near the Queen Mary.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate? No problem. We’ll count down together right where we are and welcome the New Year our own way.

Cost
Please bring cash or be prepared to use Venmo/Zelle to cover whatever food/drink you order at Kalaveras. And you can prepurchase your movie ticket ($14.75) at [Cinemark.com,](http://cinemark.com,/) if you want to be sure to have a seat reserved. My seat is in row H.

A little rain never stopped a good night out. Looking forward to ringing in the New Year together!
