Whether you want to spend your new year in a nearby attraction or a distant one, there are plenty of wonderful places for you to lead in 2020.
Nashville, Tennessee
Music City knows how to throw a festive party at any time of year, but over New Year's Eve you can enjoy the annual Jack Daniel's Music City Midnight concert, offering a free show to the public to count down to the new year as a music note drops. In Nashville, the average flight price for January has been under $300 and the average price for a hotel has been under $250.
