If you plan on attending any of the events that have cover charges, I recommend you contact the bar. There are other things you can do. If you just want to drink a lot of different beers, let me know, and I can get you in to the party I'm going to (it'll just be friends, but after 5 beers, everyone's a friend).

Here's some other possibly non-alcohol events...

Watseka Theater: 6pm; $50
New Years Eve GALA

Refinery: 9pm; $55
New Years Eve Gala

New Light Baptist Church (Rantoul); 1030

Pontiac First Night - Mural Magic

First Night celebrations are predominately alcohol free. They are usually gatherings of local community culture, featuring music, dance, comedy, art, and fireworks. (I was in several first night productions in Pontiac back when I was younger).
