Come Alone by Meet & Mint Events you can go to on your own

New Year's Eve alone · Kaohsiung

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

2 things you can walk into on your own in Kaohsiung 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 Double Bass Recital at Weiwuying

Weiwuying Recital Hall

Young double bassist Chen Pin-Ren, a Tainan-born music student, gives a solo recital in the Recital Hall of the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts on the last evening of 2026. It is a small, intimate concert that is easy to attend alone before heading out for the countdown. OPENTIX lists tickets at NT$300.

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.

Kaohsiung Chinese Orchestra: Conductor Kuo Che-cheng's Farewell

Weiwuying Concert Hall

The Kaohsiung Chinese Orchestra traces Taiwanese Chinese-orchestra music and its memories across the decades. It is also the last concert before the retirement of resident conductor Kuo Che-cheng, who has been with the orchestra since 1984. OPENTIX lists tickets from NT$300 to NT$1,200, so the cheapest seats are the affordable option.

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.
