The end of 2019 nigh and the Twenties are just around the corner (finally, another decade with a name we can all agree on).
It's as good an excuse as any for a party, and Manchester sure knows how to throw one of those.
From a free, family-friendly fireworks display to club nights and gigs, here are some of the best ways to ring in 2020.

Manchester's official free fireworks display
Manchester's free New Year's Eve fireworks display will be held on Deansgate, outside Manchester Cathedral, this year.
Music and a big screen will welcome the crowds from around 10.30pm on Tuesday December 31.
A countdown will then lead up to the stroke of midnight, when a 10-minute fireworks display will sparkle over the city.
If you're hoping to ring in 2020 with a glass of something sparkling too, be warned: there's no bar, and no alcohol is allowed to be brought to the event.
Deansgate, outside Manchester Cathedral | 10.30pm to midnight | Free
The Warehouse Project
Always one of the biggest parties of the year, the penultimate night of this year's WHP will now be even bigger after the clubbing institution's move to the 10,000 capacity Depot at Mayfield.
The line up features a headline set from Annie Mac, as well as DJ sets throughout the night from Groove Armada, Rudimental, Artwork, Melé and Hannah Wants.
If you've still got the stamina, then the New Year's Day line up is equally as impressive with a bill featuring Maceo Plex, Helena Hauff, Seth Troxler, Joy Orbison, Folamour, Octo Octa, Eris Drew, George Fitzgerald and many more.
Depot, Mayfield | NYE (7pm to 4am), £29.50, and NYD (2pm to midnight) £20, tickets from thewarehouseproject.com
Ultimate Power
If rock ballads and air guitar are your preferred method of partying, then Ultimate Power is the night for you.
The popular club night returns to the O2 Ritz for a NYE special promising 'the biggest songs, the biggest hair, the biggest guitar solos'.
Expect a set packed with anthems from Journey, Bonnie Tyler, Bon Jovi, Toto, Queen, Whitney Houston, Aerosmith and everyone in between.
O2 Ritz, Whitworth Street West | 9pm to 3am | Tickets £16 from Dice.fm
Homoelectric
The winner of CityLife's best club night award, there's no more fun and inclusive night out than Homoelectric (just witness their recent Homobloc festival at the Warehouse Project).
Taking over both the Pink Room and the Basement at YES, residents Jamie Bull, Gina Breeze and Will Tramp will be joined by friends from some of the north's most legendary LGBT parties including High Hoops, Kiss Me and Love Muscle.
YES, Charles Street | 10pm to 4am | Tickets £21.70 from Skiddle
The Hacienda NYE Resident's Party
The Haçienda is seeing in the new decade with its first NYE party in five years, in a new, intimate warehouse space a stone's throw from the original Whitworth Street club.
Taking place at Viadux Warehouse, the night will bring together six of the club's long-standing residents: Graeme Park, Greg Wilson, Tom Wainwright, Jon Dasilva, Allister Whitehead and Chad Jackson.
Park said: "I'm very excited to be bringing in the New Year with the Haçienda this Hogmanay. It's been years since I DJed in Manchester on New Year's Eve and they were always among the highlights of any year at The Haçienda. This amazing new venue across the road from the original Haçienda promises to make this a very special event indeed. And it's across the road from the original Haçienda! What? Yes! Come on then!"
Viadux Warehouse, Albion Street | 7pm to 3am | Tickets from £22.25 from Skiddle
NYE at Cultureplex
Manchester's newest cultural haven Cultureplex, which has taken over the ground floor of the Ducie Street Warehouse near Piccadilly station, will be ringing in the new year in style.
Bistrotheque will be serving a three-course set menu for £39, or for a less sit-down offer you can get two cocktails and snacks for the table for £17.50 per head in The Lounge.
The whole thing will be soundtracked by DJ Claud Cunningham.
Cultureplex, Ducie Street Warehouse, Ducie Street | 8pm-1am | Pre-booking via cultureplex.co.uk

Also on the bill are Crazy Cousinz, Matt Jam Lamont, Scott Garcia, Monsta Boy and Dennis G.

NYE at The Refuge
Manchester's longest-running club night Funkademia is taking over the public bar as The Refuge rings in 2020 with sets from Payney, Les Croasdaile and Andy Newens.
Meanwhile, down in the basement they're promising 'a non-stop exotic discotheque' with a genre-hopping soundtrack from Refuge residents and guests including Chris Massey, Reeshy Kate and Kirby.
