New Year's Eve in Downtown Long Beach

Ring in the New Year in the middle of Downtown Long Beach at this three-stage, three-block music fest. Performers include bluesy songwriter Citizen Cope, a DJ set from Australian electronic darlings Cut Copy and—to pay tribute to the late Sharon Jones, who was originally slated to headline—retro-soul outfit St. Paul and the Broken Bones. Take advantage of free rides on the Metro and take it to the Downtown Long Beach stop on the Blue Line.
