Big Night® DC New Year's Eve Returns! Here’s Why NYE 2025-26 Will Be Legendary at the Gaylord

If you’re already thinking about how to ring in 2026, look no further than the iconic Big Night® DC New Year's Eve Extravaganza — back and ready to deliver the ultimate New Year's Eve experience at the Gaylord National Hotel and Resort! Every year, this event transforms the stunning National Harbor property into a non-stop party, and 2025 promises to be our best celebration yet.

What sets Big Night® DC apart from every other NYE event? For starters, it’s all-inclusive — meaning your ticket level unlocks premium open bars, gourmet buffets, multiple themed party rooms with live DJs and bands, and sparkling champagne at midnight. Whether you’re coming with a big group or just your closest friends, there’s a vibe (and a party room) for everyone.

The Gaylord National makes a truly spectacular setting on the banks of the Potomac. With soaring ceilings, gorgeous ballrooms, and luxury hotel amenities, you can dance the night away, step outside for unbelievable views of the Potomac River, and never worry about braving the cold.

Last year, guests raved about the energy, the music, and the unforgettable midnight countdown — and this year, we’re raising the bar once again.

“Every year, we strive to outdo ourselves, and the countdown to 2026 will be no exception,” says Richard Shea, one of the event’s organizers. “This year, guests can expect themed room changes, specialty cocktails, and enhanced light shows that will make the Gaylord come alive like never before. We want everyone to experience something fresh and unforgettable on New Year’s Eve.”

A few early-bird tickets are still available! Prices go up as the party gets closer, so mark your calendar and grab your spot at DC's can't-miss New Year’s Eve event. Go to https://www.bignightdc.com/ to get your tickets.
