Cryptic of the Year #2

Eleven of this puzzle's answers relate to a specific year—can you figure out which? Online solvers: the answer shows up when you complete the puzzle.

Special shout out to Liari (constructor and solver extraordinaire), who redeemed this puzzle as a channel-point redemption on my stream! She left the year up to me, so if you don't like it, it's not her fault!

I've said it before and I'll (hopefully get to) say it again: many thanks to the Rackenfracker's dadgumituh and jmsr525 for the test solves!

If you solve or stream or love or hate, lemme know! (joeadultman on Twitch and Twitter)
