To celebrate New Year’s Eve in a safe, alcohol-free environment, the Southampton Town addiction and recovery committee will throw a New Year’s Eve party at Parrish Hall at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. The 2020 Clear Vision Party, as it’s called, will start at 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 31 and go until about a half-hour after the ball drops. There will be live entertainment and refreshments.

Tickets are $25 per person, limited to those 18 and older, and must be bought in advance through the Youth Bureau. “Creative black tie” has been suggested. More information can be had by emailing pstrecker@southamptontownny.gov.
