In case you’ve been in a bunker for the last week or so, we’re happy to inform you that the world did not end on Dec. 21, 2012.

In fact, things have been pretty normal over the past few days. Christmas was fine. It didn’t snow. Whatever.

Anyway, with New Year’s Eve just around the corner, and because some people like to plan their special evenings a few days ahead of time, we’ve gone ahead and compiled a list of New Year’s Eve events in Fayetteville to help you guys ring in 2013 in style.

We’ll likely be adding to this list over the next few days, but here are the live music and entertainment events we’ve found so far. Feel free to let us know about anything we’ve missed in the comments.

Happy New Year, everyone.
