Our NYE Party will be at Steph’s late grandparents’ house in the rural small city of Alagoinha. During the holidays, this quaint little town comes alive with lots of lights, cultural attractions, carnival games, and concerts on the city square. We will have a big dinner, lots of bubbly, live music, and fireworks to welcome 2025 in style!
We rented a bus to take us there. The bus is driven by a professional driver, has comfortable seating, AC, USB chargers, and a bathroom on board. A water bottle and light snack will be provided (please feel free to bring more!)
Important! The bus ticket is $28 there, $28 back ($56 round-trip) per person. Please Venmo or Paypal Steph at @stephaniemadeit with your ticket fare by December 1st.
