President Donald Trump’s New Year’s Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago is a hotspot with politicians and celebrities counting down to midnight.
Even before Trump was elected president, the party was a highlight of Palm Beach, Florida’s social season. Previous notable guests have included Tiger Woods, Martha Stewart, Serena Williams, Rod Stewart, Regis Philbin, Steve Wynn, and Sylvester Stallone. Many of Trump’s extended family members also typically attend.
But since President Trump took office, the gala has become a red carpet event in its own right, garnering national attention, with the president often stopping to answer questions on his way in with first lady Melania Trump.
