New Year's Eve in Yucaipa

Wednesday night we move from 2008 to 2009, and there are lots of ways to celebrate. You can gather together with your family and friends or you can go out for an end-of-the-year party. Casual or dressy, loud music or quiet cheer, there is something for everyone.

Below I've listed a few of the local options for live music on New Year's Eve. There are fewer than I expected that I could find details for so I went a bit further afield than Yucaipa - feel free to add more listings in the comments.

Events for December 31, 2008
I'll update if I come across more listings.

Yucaipa Music & Nightlife: October 24-30

So, last weekend we headed out to the Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch, and it's well worth the trip if you are willing to battle the traffic jam at the Oak Glen/I-10 interchange. They have great bands playing in the afternoons, the seating is in the shade, and you can even bring a picnic. Can't beat that for free.

Also if apples are your thing, there is still fruit to be picked up in Oak Glen. The Riley's Farm newsletter also says:
As always, in October, we have great music with the Bost Family Traditions singing gospel and bluegrass in the Packing Shed and House & von Arx providing classical and folk in the Colonial Public house.
So get out and enjoy some music this weekend!

Yucaipa Music & Nightlife: October 17-23

So we still aren't into fall, weather-wise. I find it hard to get into the mood for pumpkins and harvest festivals when the thermostat is still hitting the 90s. I'm hoping for a cold front soon! Anyway, if you want to get into the autumn mood, one of the Oak Glen events might just do it for you.
