Say goodbye to 2020 in style at Mission Inn Resort’s New Year’s Eve Gala Celebration. The event will be socially distanced this year, but with a five-course dinner, live music, and a champagne toast at midnight, you can still welcome 2021 with a special dining experience in Central Florida!

The party starts in the Grand Ballroom on December 31 at 7:30 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres and a premium bar that will stay open throughout the evening. Please note that Mission Inn is following the necessary precautions for this event to keep guests and staff safe. Visit the COVID-19 update page for details. This is a cocktail-attire event, black tie optional, so come dressed in your festive best.

After the grand reception, guests will get to enjoy a savory five-course meal that includes lobster bisque, an incredible surf and turf, and more. View the full menu here. Upon making reservations, guests who would like private tables can be seated with only their party for the night. Continuous live music by Uptown 8-piece Dance Band will keep party guests entertained and dancing all night in the spacious ballroom. 

When it gets close to midnight, watch the Countdown on the Big Screen, and enjoy a champagne toast and balloon drop to help welcome the start of a new year.
