Join us for New Years Eve!

"Bling In The New Year" and dance the night away with the Yellowstone Burners at the historic Wapiti Lodge! This celebration brings creativity, entertainment, music, and community together in unique ways. This is primarily a fundraiser to support our first collaborative art project which we hope to debut during Cody's 4th of July parade. Join us for this special night of fun!
The Details

• Kickin' dance music will be playing in our main room, featuring sets we've gathering from our favorite Burning Man DJs. If you're into dance music, this is the place to be! Our playlist will be heavy on deep and funky house.
• If that's not your thing, head outside to get warm by the fire or climb on board our 35 foot long bus, designed to look like an old west lounge. Settle in and listen to our favorite new and classic country music; we may even have an impromptu singer and guitar player from time to time.
• We believe that entertainment doesn't always have to be on a stage. Do you know how to juggle or hula hoop? Bring your gear and when you're feeling the music, start doing your thing! Maybe you know some card tricks or can do up close magic; sit at a table for a while and ask people if they want to see a trick. Are you a painter or sculptor? Bring your canvas or clay and let your creation to life throughout the evening. All art forms are welcome and everyone who comes is cordially invited to be part of the entertainment. It doesn't matter what tricks you have up your sleeve; if you think it will make other people smile, bring it!
• We are a group that Leaves No Trace! Help us keep trash in its place throughout the night and take care of this venue so we can be invited back for more great events!
• Snow, wind, rain, or shine...this celebration will be on, no matter what the Wyoming weather may be.

What to Wear

• ​Bring out the bling and let your inner magic shine! Do you have a tux with tails that you never wear? How about that ball gown you only wore once? If you're not into things that formal, that's okay too. Maybe you have a onesie that looks like a fox; add some battery powered fairy lights or sequins and rock that onesie through the night. Consider yourself part of our creative decor and make others smile with your attire. If a t-shirt and jeans is more your thing, that's alright too. Everyone is welcome, come as you are!

Eats & Drinks

• Your ticket includes heavy appetizers and snacks throughout the evening, as well as complimentary non-alcoholic drinks.
• We'll have a cash bar with a variety of beer, wine, and liquor. PLEASE, do not drink and drive. We will hang out as long as it takes for everyone to be safe driving home or...rent a room for the night!
