New Year’s Eve in South Carolina. What better place is there to usher in a new year full of hope and aspirations for attaining checkboxs on your entire list of 2017 New Year’s Resolutions? Even if you plan to ring in the new year from the comforts of your winter pajamas sipping a warm toddy at home, you’ll still love living vicariously though others who find it super exciting to get out and mix it up on New Year’s Eve. However you go about it, one thing is for certain: we surely know how to party in the Palmetto State, even if it’s in our pjs. Here are six huge celebrations where some very big excitement will be going down.
