New Year’s has become a time of lofty goals, resolutions, and self-examination. Benjamin Franklin says, “Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every New Year find you a better man.”
That’s all well and good unless you’re an utter grinch like me. I prefer the sage words of writer Tom Peters, “Celebrate what you want to see more of.” And this New Year’s Eve, that wish comes true at the Quinault Beach Resort’s Back to the 80’s Celebration.
The night will be a full-on flashback of music, food and fun starting at 5:00 p.m., on New Year’s Eve. Make sure your acid-washed jeans are stretchy enough to accommodate the decadent dinner buffet featuring prime rib, lobster, oysters, shrimp, salmon, Dungeness crab, puddings,cakes, and even a chocolate fountain.
After you’ve recovered from the holiday feast, put on your neon scrunchy socks and dancing shoes and touch-up that AquaNet for a retro dance party. There will be a DJ in the Great Hall from 10:00 p.m. – 12:30 a.m., free hats and party favors, a midnight balloon drop, and guest appearances by the Fabulous Fakes 80’s Icons.

After dancing the night away, refuel with a hearty New Year’s Day breakfast. Don’t worry, it runs from 9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. in case you need a nap after that trip down memory lane.

Designer Brad Goreski proclaimed, “I know it’s not the ’80s anymore, but the ’80s are back with a vengeance. Get yourself some neon; whether it’s a cute sneaker, a pump or a cross-body bag, add to your wardrobe a pop of neon.” What better way to ring in the New Year than with a blast of color, music, and retro-inspired fun?
