Neon Moon New Year's Eve Party 2026

When December 31 rolls around, Neon Moon Restaurant and Social Club near Lake Fork turns its dance hall into one of the closest New Year's Eve celebrations to the property. The venue's annual party brings in a live band, a midnight champagne toast, and the kind of crowd that knows how to ring in a new year on a Texas dance floor. For 2026, West Bound Hearts headlines the night, playing the high-energy country rock set that has been drawing crowds across the state.

The band

West Bound Hearts is a rising Texas country rock band rooted in West Texas grit, known for high-energy live shows and songs like "Small Town Saturday Night" and "Illusions of Love." They have played rooms from Billy Bob's Texas to Love and War, and they bring the same rowdy, dance-friendly energy to a small lakeside club. A New Year's Eve set from a band like this means two-step and line-dance country through midnight and beyond.

The venue

Neon Moon sits on TX-154 near Lake Fork in Yantis, combining a full restaurant and bar with a dance hall and outdoor stage. Its calendar skews toward established Texas country and Red Dirt names, and it has become the closest major live music stop to the property, about 25 minutes away on paved roads. For New Year's Eve it is the rare kind of local night out that does not require a long drive home at the end of the year.
