NYE Celebration | El Año Viejo | 21+ Only


  • Xicha Brewing Company 576 Patterson St NW Salem United States (map)

We’re throwing a NYE party Ecuatoriano-style. In Ecuador, New Year’s Eve is a special occasion where cultural traditions take place throughout the evening to say goodbye to el año viejo (the old year). Traditionally, el año viejo exists in the form of an effigy doll that is stuffed throughout the night with notes from family/friends on what they’d like to say goodbye to from that year (passing of a family member/bad habits/a political figure). At the stroke of midnight people gather in the square/street/driveway to light the doll on fire as a way to represent the passing of the old year. As our first año viejo, we will be using a “X” piñata to say goodbye to another great year in this awesome community as your local LatinX brewery. As you are all our family/friends, we are inviting you to help us celebrate and say goodbye el año viejo.

Starting at 9 PM we will only allow 21+ guests on premises.
