Dance into 2012 at the Gulfport Casino Ballroom's New Year's Eve Celebration

On Saturday night, the ballroom will host a party complete with a live band, prizes and champagne.

Party favors and decoartions will turn the Gulfport Casino Ballroom into a New Year’s Eve celebration station. Workers are already preparing for the huge party on Saturday night.

There will be plenty of food and drinks for the masses including chips, sandwiches and a cash bar. Draw a ticket at the door for your chance to win one of the many door prizes that will be handed out throughout the night. Live music from the Caliente Band will be buzzing, just in time for the first dance of 2012.

The band takes the stage at 8 p.m. and will be playing through the stroke of midnight. The Caliente Band comes all the way from Orlando, FL where they have established themselves as a cover band. They pump everything from Top-40 hits and ballads to the salsa and Latin jazz.

Dance demonstrations from some of the top local performers and teachers will also take place in the ballroom on New Year’s Eve.

At midnight, party goers can enjoy a glass of champagne with a New Year’s toast.

Doors to the casino open at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are only $22. The ticket gives you access to all the night’s festivities. With the popularity of this event, advance ticket purchases are encouraged.

Tickets are available at the Casino, Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.- 5 p.m.
