Roaring Gatsby Prohibition Party at Portsmouth Gaslight Company

Step through the doors of the legendary Portsmouth Gaslight Company on New Year’s Eve and travel straight back to 1929. Crystal chandeliers shimmer overhead, Art-Deco murals frame the room, and a live jazz quintet kicks off the soundtrack to the ultimate Roaring Gatsby Prohibition Party. Slip into your fringe dress, pearl strands, and fedora, then prepare for a night where champagne flows like the Piscataqua River and every hour feels like the stroke of midnight.

Begin the evening with a complimentary vintage-style photo shoot—complete with sepia filters and antique props—to cement your transformation into a true 1920s socialite. Professional dancers from Seacoast Swing will offer 15-minute drop-in lessons so you can master the Charleston before the countdown. Between sets, wander through hidden “speakeasy nooks” where craft mixologists shake Prohibition-era cocktails: sidecars, bees knees, and a tobacco-infused old fashioned smoked tableside.

A panoramic rooftop heated for winter reveals glittering views of Portsmouth’s historic harbor as fireworks ignite at midnight. VIP ticket holders enjoy priority seating, a four-course tasting menu inspired by Gatsby’s legendary soirées—think oysters Rockefeller, truffle mac & cheese cups, and mini champagne cupcakes—and a bottomless premium bar featuring local New Hampshire bubbly from Jewell Towne Vineyards.

Sustainability meets style this year: event décor is sourced from local antique shops and will be donated to the Portsmouth Historical Society post-party, while surplus food benefits Rockingham Community Action. Leave the confetti at home—biodegradable glitter pumps through the air cannons for guilt-free glamour.

Whether you’re planning a romantic date night, a Gatsby-themed group outing, or a solo adventure to meet fellow vintage lovers, the Roaring Gatsby Prohibition Party guarantees an unforgettable start to 2025. Tickets sell out every year—secure yours now and make history repeat itself in the most spectacular way.
