New Year's Eve Block Party on Clematis Street. With Jacuzzi Boys, New Coke, the Resolvers, Casey Hopkins Duo, Astrea Corp, Killmama, Parallels, and more. 8 p.m. in the 500 block of Clematis Street, West Palm Beach. General admission tickets cost $10. Visit nye500block.com. Ages 21 and up. 

Two words: Jacuzzi Boys. One of our favorite Miami bands is making the trek up to Palm Beach County to help ring in the New Year at a killer block party. Joined by a slew of other local acts like Astrea Corporation, Casey Hopkins Duo, and New Coke, we are betting this event will be totally unforgettable. 

This year's theme is war of the worlds so be prepared for a serious alien invasion -- i.e. waking up with a drunken stranger who's invaded your bed. 

Karaoke Party. With Freddy the Karaoke Guy. 9 p.m. at the Dive Bar, 3233 N. Ocean Blvd., Fort Lauderdale. No cover.

Do you really love karaoke? Well, now's your chance to sing your way into the 2013 with your closest friends or a bunch of tipsy strangers all for the low price of zero dollars. 

We know, it's crazy. A NYE party that is completely free! We couldn't believe our eyes and ears either. So, get those vocal chords ready! Bonus: There's going to be free jell-o shots all night long. 

Planet Disco NYE Block Party on A1A. 9 p.m. along A1A on Fort Lauderdale Beach. No cover. 

Block parties are all the rage for celebrating this New Year's Eve. So much so that Fort Lauderdale is having not one, but two of them. Just steps away from the sand, the A1A strip is turning back to the clocks to the 1970s for a serious Saturday Night Fever-esque extravaganza. And if you feel so inclined to take if off the streets, Exit 66, Dirty Blondes, and a handful of other bars are having disco theme parties. While those events will require tickets, spending the night under the stars won't cost you a dime. So, break out those platform shoes and do the hustle into 2013.
