Are you making plans to ring in the new year? As always, we're here for you with our annual New Year's Eve listings, in print and online. (We're also ringing out the old with looks back at the year's top news stories, movies, restaurant openings, and of course, the New Times tradition that is the Dirty Dozen.

Yes, we're here, as we have been since New Times first hit the streets in 1987, giving it all to you for free. (No paywall, ever!)

But we do have a favor to ask.

We're continuing to inch our way toward our goal of raising $15,000 during our final fundraising campaign for 2024, which ends on New Year's Eve.

We're hoping you'll think of our small newsroom and consider making a contribution to help us keep turning out the stories that make you feel more informed about the community where we all live, work, and — savvy Miamians that we are — don't fire our guns into the air on certain holidays.

To help us keep supplying Miamians with the stories they didn't know they needed to read till we showed them to 'em, please consider sending some holiday dough our way. We promise to spend it on you!
