I will be staying in Duesseldorf on New Year's Eve and am wondering what's going on there or in Cologne. Unfortunately, I have an 10:30 AM flight from CGN on Jan 1, but would like to celebrate somehow. Any suggestions?

New Year's Eve = Silvester (Sylvester) in Germany.

Bonn would be also OK, CDG is between Bonn and Cologne.
