Woodstock stepped into a world of glamour and indulgence as guests gathered at 434 Dundas Street for the Gatsby New Year’s Eve Gala Glitz, presented by Good Times Restaurant on Dec. 31. The gala experience offered attendees a rare escape into an evening styled with the sophistication of the Gatsby era and the vibrancy of a modern celebration. The venue was transformed into an elevated, intentional space where light, texture, and movement created an atmosphere reminiscent of a 1920s gathering—polished, immersive, and designed to feel extraordinary. Guests arrived dressed in their finest, stepping into a room that blended vintage elegance with contemporary energy. The evening opened with a beautifully curated three-course supper, setting the tone for a night crafted for those seeking a New Year’s Eve experience beyond the ordinary. As the gala unfolded, attendees enjoyed a celebration that felt indulgent from the moment they walked through the doors, offering a brief but memorable escape from the everyday.
