Glitz, Glam & All That Jazz — Roaring ’20s New Year’s Eve Soirée
When: Wednesday, December 31, 2025 — Doors open at 8:00 PM with festivities through about 12:30 AM on January 1, 2026
Where: Montvale Event Center (1019 W First Ave, Downtown Spokane)
Who’s it for: Recommended for ages 13 and up
COST: $100
What it is:
A 1920s-themed interactive theater-driven New Year’s Eve celebration that turns the Montvale into a multi-floor Jazz Age party filled with live music, costumed characters, games, and immersive theatrical performances.
What to expect:
- Multi-floor immersive experience: Each level of the historic Montvale comes alive with different offerings — from speakeasy-style lounges and games of chance to jazz performances and dance areas that evoke the energy of the Roaring ’20s.
- Live jazz music and entertainment: Expect a mix of swing, jazz vocals, and dance-friendly band sets that keep the atmosphere lively as the clock ticks toward midnight.
- Interactive theater: Actors in period costumes mingle with guests, create playful intrigue, and draw you into a loosely scripted story of Prohibition-era glamour.
- Support local arts: This event benefits multiple Spokane theater companies working together — including Stage Left Theater, Spokane Children’s Theatre, Inland Classic Theater, and The Blue Door Theatre — helping to fund and sustain live performance arts in the region.
- Value-packed admission: Ticket price includes appetizers (provided by Steam Plant Grill), entertainment, dancing, and the full immersive experience.
- Costume fun: ’20s attire encouraged.
Tips for Attendees:
- Plan your night downtown: With the event ending around 12:30 AM, consider nearby hotels or rideshare options to avoid late-night driving.
- Reserve early: Tickets can sell out as this is one of Spokane’s more unique NYE experiences.
