Happy New Years Eve!

The world rings says goodbye to 2025 and hello to 2026 tonight. 

Eau Claire Police are encouraging people heading out to celebrate to New Year’s Eve to travel safely.  The department is asking people to plan ahead and to have a designated driver if they plan to drink.  Those without a DD tonight are encouraged to consider use of a rideshare service.

Fittingly, if you are planning to raise a glass of bubbly, you’re right on time. Today is national champagne day. Brie Tennis toasts the occasion:

But if you are planning more couch time than confetti and cocktails, you aren’t alone.

As we wind down and reflect on the past year, here’s hoping you had moments to celebrate. Whatever way you plan to ring in the new year, we wish you all the best in 2026!
