New Years Eve

Making plans for New Year's Eve? Why not plan to go to five of the best parties Downtown Grand Rapids has to offer? You can do just that with this awesome New Year's Eve Party Hopping Package!

What is your New Year's resolution?  I know, that question is a bit cliche`, but I love the idea of a fresh start, and a solid plan to get it going.  Let's talk...

Kids love to be part of EVERYTHING, but tired parents can get them to bed early Wednesday evening thanks to Netflix.

This guy figured out how to get a kiss on New Year's Eve!

Welcome, 2014. As we said goodbye to 2013, a whole mess of our favorite celebs were Instagramming photos of their big night out, tweeting messages about the past and the future, all the while enjoying the present.

Of course we were anticipating what Miley Cyrus would do for her performance as part of the annual 'New Year's Rockin' Eve.' Since her name occupied many a 2013 headline, it was only right for the singer to close out the year with a performance in the Big Apple. Perhaps most shocking was how tame her performance was.

Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' was the biggest single of 2013 and was the singer's breakthrough song, thanks to its crazy catchy melody, sexy vibe and raunchy video. Thicke performed the song in Los Angeles and beamed into Ryan Seacrest's NYC-based 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' celebration.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis acknowledged that they were an underground rap group when 2013 started. Now, they are one of the biggest acts in pop music. The pair performed on 'New Year's Rockin' Eve,' and before they took the stage in frigid NYC, they spoke to host Ryan Seacrest about scratching and clawing their way to the top.

This could be the most powerful video you see all day.

The hourly countdown to 2013 has officially begun, which means New Year's Eve preparations are in full swing. We're practicing our photobombing techniques, cranking up the tunes and bejeweling jean shorts, among other things. December 31st is the party of all parties, after all!

We're going to make a pretty huge statement right now ladies and gents, so brace yourselves: photobombing is hands down the best way to capture any sort of moment. Ruining a picture with that unexpectedly hilarious face or the addition of a random stranger in a photo simply adds that extra oomph needed to bring a picture to the next level. Plus, it's just funny stuff.

When it comes time to celebrate the passing of another year, people around the world often gather together and make a lot of noise in order to demonstrate their good cheer.
