New Year's Eve alone · Bologna

New Year’s Eve alone in Bologna, without the pressure.

1 thing you can walk into on your own in Bologna between 27 December and 6 January, 1 on 31 December itself, plus a plan you write in plain text.

The honest number. In a survey of 3,000 Americans run by Sunny and reported by the New York Post (December 2025), only 24% wanted to celebrate New Year’s Eve with other people, 35% planned to stream a show and 20% to go to bed early; 36% of Gen Z wanted to go out. It is one US survey, not a measure of your city, but it matches what this page does: it does not push a midnight club. Source ↗

New Year's Eve with Dondarini and Dalfiume, Teatro Dehon, Bologna

Teatro Dehon

On Thursday 31 December 2026 at 21:30 the Teatro Dehon in Bologna holds a New Year's Eve show with Marco Dondarini and Davide Dalfiume, under the title Ridendo verso il nuovo che arriva, laughing towards the new year that is coming. The listing says the audience will sit comfortably in the armchairs of the theatre while the curtain falls on 2026 and the new year begins in the best possible way, with a smile. Dondarini and Dalfiume are called capable helmsmen who turn good resolutions, destined to last less than a panettone, and the small daily follies into an evening of pure comedy, with surreal sketches, improvisation with the audience and absurd situations. The show starts at 21:30 and is followed by a midnight toast. The single price including presale is 50 euros. The listing gives no end time, so the end shown is approximate and runs to the toast. A seated comedy and a toast with strangers is an easy way to spend New Year's Eve alone. «Una serata travolgente per salutare il 2026 ridendo forte ed entrare nel 2027 tutti insieme.» Starts 21:30, ends about 23:59. Source: Comune di Bologna — Eventi, Bologna Agenda Cultura (opendata.comune.bologna.it, CC BY 4.0). The listing gives no end time, so the end shown here is estimated. A midnight toast follows the show, so the end shown is approximate.

Friday 1 January 2027

New Year’s Day morning, the easy first plan

A walk, a swim or a slow brunch on 1 January has no countdown and no dress code: you only need a start time. Events are listed below when our data has them. Some parkrun locations hold an extra run on 1 January in some years; each location’s organisers decide, and we have not confirmed which will do so in 2027. Check your local parkrun page, or see this fan-maintained list of parkrun special event days (2026 edition) ↗ for how it has worked.

Nothing on 1 January in our data for this city yet.

Three levels

Pick the pressure you want

  1. Early evening, before 21:00. A table booked for one, a film, a game night, a concert with a printed start time. Home before the loud part.
  2. Midnight among people. A public countdown or fireworks where nobody expects you to talk. Arrive early, stand near the edge, decide the way home before you go.
  3. The first morning. Skip the night, set an alarm for 1 January: a walk, a swim or brunch, with a start time.
