Who is ready for a brand new year?  I know you can't see me but I am jumping up and down and raising my hand super high because personally, 2023 was one of the hardest years I've ever had.  I picked the word "change" for my year way back in January and I should have been more specific...because the "change" I got was not in positive ways.  I am going to be closing the chapter on 2023 with force and ready to open up this new year with a bang.

I'm on the hunt right now to figure out where that "bang" is going to happen but, if you are looking for a spot to ring in the New Year with friends and family, check out one of these three spots in Rochester, Minnesota that are having huge parties!
