Cheap New Year's Eve Parties in Ottawa 2026: NYE Parties Under $100
Ottawa has 5 New Year's Eve events that start under $100 on Thursday, December 31, 2026, from $23. They're spread across the region rather than downtown: a Gatsby gala in rural Richmond, a masquerade in Nepean, the 15th annual comedy night at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orléans, and a dinner-dance and a midday family countdown at Hammond Golf. Some quote a child's price as the lowest, so read the tiers. Prices and tickets were checked 1 Nov 2026. Updated 1 Nov 2026.

What to know before you book
- The from-price may not be your price. At Layla, the lowest ticket is for children; an adult single costs $75, and couples have a two-person ticket.
- Two of these finish before midnight. Layla's gala ends at 11:30 pm and the Urban Centre's masquerade at 11:59 pm. If you want to count down somewhere specific, plan a second stop.
- One is at lunchtime. The Family New Year's Event at Hammond Golf runs 12:30 to 2:30 pm, with a seated lunch, a dance party and an early "midnight" balloon drop.
- Cash bars are common. Layla's gala has a cash bar. Hammond's dinner-dance includes a champagne toast; drinks beyond that are extra.
- Free celebrations. The Ottawa Christmas Market's free New Year's Eve with fireworks hasn't announced its 2026 plans yet. We'll add it to the Ottawa guide once it does.
Getting there and home
