McMenamins Kennedy School
5736 NE 33rd Ave, Portland, OR 97211

McMenamins Kennedy School is going all out for New Year’s Eve 2026, with a night of property-wide merriment and unforgettable live music. Energetic barroom dance band The Saloon Ensemble puts on their most ambitious New Year’s show to date: a two-step, four-on-the-floor, slow dance extravaganza they’ve dubbed Cowboy Disco Ball, featuring MarchFourth horn players and special guest vocalist Pink Lady. Come dressed in your best ’70s cowboy/disco costume and dance into the new year! While you’re there, don’t forget to explore the property – stop in early for a bite, look for the new secret room, or step inside the Gym for free live music with Family Mystic.

And the New Year’s fun doesn’t stop there! Wilsonville Old Church parties with Johnny Cash tribute Boy Named Sue, while Edgefield takes it back to the ’80s with Portland’s premiere new wave cover band My Siamese Twin. Tickets are on sale now!

    “Because ringing in the New Year with live music, great vibes, and friends at Kennedy School sounds like the perfect way to start 2026 🎉”

  8. Abel on December 16, 2025 at 4:54 pm

    Kennedy School is such a fun venue and cowboy disco sounds like an amazing time!

  9. Mike Harvey on December 16, 2025 at 5:39 pm

    What else would someone want to do on NYE in Portland? Besides, yelling “Yee-Haw” at midnight seems to be spiritually correct!

  10. Ashley on December 16, 2025 at 9:25 pm

    We’ve never celebrated NYE with McMenamins! This would be an amazing stamp to add to our passports! Not to mention it sounds like a blast!!

  30. Dan on December 24, 2025 at 7:40 am

    I’ve never been to the Kennedy School, love 70’s music, and could use a good time to ring in the New Year.

    My fianceé and I don’t go out on NYE because we’re afraid of drunk drivers, but we live close enough we could walk here!

  40. Shannon on December 29, 2025 at 4:20 pm

    My sister and I never get to celebrate new years due to family sabatoge. We have never had a decent holiday. No matter whether it’s birthdays, christmas or new years. I would love to celebrate with her just once.

  41. Shannon on December 29, 2025 at 5:49 pm

    Idk, I do not see my name in the comments. I have never celebrated a decent holiday with my sister. I cannot afford anything. Every holiday has been sabotaged by other family members and miserable. I would love to have a good time with her just once. Sincerely.
