ASTORIA LIVE | December 29th, 2025

Hello Astoria,

Happy ALMOST New Year!!! I've included a ton of local New Year's Eve events below, and other happenings this week. Whether you're celebrating a great year or can't wait to leave 2025 behind, I hope you enjoy the fresh start and have a wonderful year ahead of you!

As we wrap up the year, I would also LOVE to know what you want more of in 2026, and where I should focus my efforts for Astoria Live. I put together a super quick survey to get your thoughts!

Cheers,

Stacey
