MOXI will welcome the new year on Dec. 31, with a Noon Year’s Eve Glitter Blizzard celebration for revelers of all ages.

There will be a museum-wide celebration throughout MOXI’s interactive exhibits, including the Seaside Sock Skating Rink and new exhibits on the second floor.

This year’s sparkly soirée features an all-ages countdown to 2026 with ice races, crafts and noisemaker-making, and a rooftop dance party with DJ Gavin Roy Presents.

Attendees can try instruments at the Santa Barbara Symphony’s musical, “petting zoo;” learn to sock skate with Ice in Paradise; and dance with World Dance for Humanity.

“Celebrate the new year in shimmering, glitzy style, without staying up past bedtime,” organizers said.

All attendees, including MOXI members, must hold a ticket to the Noon Year’s Eve event.

Tickets are on sale at moxi.org/NYE. The museum is closed for general admission on Dec. 31.

Thanks to our Noon Year’s Eve sponsor and partners: Ice in Paradise, American Riviera Bank, DJ Gavin Roy, Santa Barbara Symphony, and World Dance for Humanity.
