The Grand Affair 2026

This New Year’s Eve, go grand! Countdown to midnight at the glitziest hotel in St. John’s.

December 31, 2026 – 06:30 pm @ JAG Soundhouse

The Grand Affair

Your New Year’s Eve deserves something grand… The Grand Affair is JAG’s dazzling NYE gala: a night where the music never stops, the service glides, and the countdown feels cinematic. Arrive to a reception with hand-passed hors d’oeuvres, then settle in for a chef-curated four-course dinner. The Barry Canning Band, Brendan Fitzpatrick Trio and a live DJ keep the room full of energy straight to midnight, when we toast the new year with party favours and champagne!


The Details

The Music

At JAG, we know the music is important to the vibe and our Gala is no exception. Through dinner, Brendan Fitzpatrick Trio will swoon the crowd with sultry jazz. A live DJ turns the dial from dinner to party with all of the crowd-pleasers. The Barry Canning Band headlines the night with the anthems you know by heart, and the choruses you can’t help but sing.
