New Year’s Eve is the only time of the year that it’s okay to drop the ball. So, take part in a Ball Drop at midnight at the New Year’s Eve Party at The Cauldron. Enjoy music by DJ Gavin and Aman Adwin, an hour of free appetizers, and champagne to toast the new year. It will be a bargain night, as far as New Year’s outings go. The event is for those at least age 21. General admission: $5; 9 p.m. EST until closing. (You can upgrade to a 3 hour-open bar package, $80, and a VIP level, $275). The Cauldron, 1305 Locust St. Follow the event on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecauldronphilly/ or register at eventbrite.com.
