“A new heart for a New Year, always!”
Another year passes by. And as we try to gulp it down and usher in the new year, we need some adventures or celebrations to mark the occasion of a new year coming in.
And if you are in Richmond, you are in for a treat.
In this article, I have curated a list of things to do on New Year’s Eve in Richmond. So explore ahead!
1. A One-Day Trip from Richmond
For people stuck at home or who haven’t had the opportunity to travel around this year, the best thing to do this New Year’s Eve while in Richmond is to take a trip for two days and a night. Or more, depending on your holidays.
There are a lot of places to visit in Richmond and around. So pack your bags and travel solo! If your friends and family are interested, take them too! But before, select a place depending on your mood, whether you want to relax or spend the entire day sightseeing.

5. An Attempt to Capture the New Year Spirit
A shout out to all photographers and cinematographers who aim to capture the festival spirit but end up canceling it. This time, pick your camera up, pack all your gear and equipment, and walk down the streets to click whatever comes your way.
Everybody is in their best attire, the roads are adorned with lights, and everything is photogenic. You are bound to get your shot. And if you are a content creator, by the end of the day, you can make your own New Year video blog.
The only thing that is stopping you is YOU. End the day with a sumptuous dinner with drinks at a local restaurant to cool off the hard work you pulled off after such a long time!

Take that tour, visit that city, go adventure sporting, try out an escape room, hike the mountains, or even do as simple as taking a rest while staying indoors or cleaning up your room, or reading a book you have wanted to read for a very long time.
