There’s something magical about welcoming a brand-new year by the water — the reflection of lights, the laughter that fills the air, and the joy of being surrounded by friends, food, and music. This year, make your New Year’s Eve unforgettable at The Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station, where elegance and excitement meet for one extraordinary celebration: Midnight by the River.
A Night of Music, Dining, and Celebration
Step into The Riverhouse ballroom and prepare to be swept away by the sounds of Downtown 6, one of Connecticut’s most exciting live bands. From the first note to the final encore, you’ll be on your feet dancing and celebrating the arrival of 2026 in style.
The evening begins with a selection of butler-passed hors d’oeuvres — Spicy Tuna Wonton Crisps, Tenderloin Crostini, Crab Cakes, and more — followed by a gourmet dinner featuring Surf & Turf, perfectly paired with seasonal sides and a decadent dessert display. And because the night doesn’t end at midnight, you’ll enjoy late-night snacks to keep the celebration going strong.
An Atmosphere Like No Other
Located atop the banks of the Connecticut River in Haddam, The Riverhouse offers a breathtaking backdrop for an evening like no other. From the soft glow of the chandeliers to the sparkle of champagne glasses, every detail is designed to set the stage for an unforgettable night. As the clock strikes twelve, raise your glass and toast to the new year surrounded by laughter, music, and the beauty of the Riverhouse’s riverside setting.
Celebrate in Style
If you’re looking for more than just another night out, Midnight by the River is a full-evening experience — an elegant blend of fine dining, live entertainment, and celebration. It’s the perfect way to wrap up 2025 and step into 2026 with joy, energy, and unforgettable memories.
Tickets are $139++ per person and include dinner, live entertainment, dancing, and a midnight champagne toast.
Reserve your seat today and make this New Year’s on the River one you’ll never forget.
