Start the new year with creativity, reflection, and cozy vibes at Best Friends' 2026 Vision Board Night! Whether you want to look back or look ahead, this is the perfect space to unwind, get inspired, and make something meaningful.

You’ll have the option to create:
✨ A 2025 Memory Collage – a visual tribute to the moments, milestones, and memories that made your year special.
✨ A 2026 Vision Board – a creative map of the goals, energy, and intentions you want to carry into the new year.

We’ll provide magazines, paper, and all the supplies you need, plus a warm drink to sip on while you cut, paste, dream, and design. Feel free to bring photos or mementos from your year to make your vision board or collage even more personal and meaningful.

Come solo or bring a friend—this is a cozy, drop-in-style craft night made for slowing down, reflecting, and setting the tone for a beautiful new year.

Please register yourself and each person in your party below! We can't wait to bring in the new year with you.
