MANCHESTER, NH – Back by popular demand, the Currier Museum of Art will once again play host to its wildly popular annual Noon Year’s Eve party. The event has become Northern New England’s biggest family-friendly New Year’s event and ticket sales are limited. The museum will open exclusively for those with tickets to this event. Doors open at 10:45 a.m. on December 31 and the celebration culminates at 2:45 p.m. with a New Year’s countdown and balloon drop.
Parents will have the unique opportunity to celebrate ringing in the New Year with their children in a safe and festive atmosphere a few hours before the official ball drop. Participants get to enjoy outdoor activities like fire performances, art-making, face painting, and a dance party. In addition, attendees can expect to be wowed by the astounding high-energy, family-friendly juggling performances by “Peter Panic” and live music performed by local musicians. The Morning Buzz’s Laura Boyce, from WHEB and Rock 101, will also be part of the celebration again this year, hosting the countdown with the crowd for Noon Year’s.
The celebration marks the New Year with bubble-wrap fireworks and a huge balloon drop. Everyone is encouraged to wear their party best!
“This is such a distinctive event,” stated Alan Chong, Director of the Currier. “We want to encourage people of all ages to enjoy the art and the beauty of the museum. We are excited that families continue to want to share this special holiday-time with their children and join the Currier Museum in ringing in the New Year – a little early.”
This one-of-a-kind event started in 2012 and each year hundreds of parents and their kids participate. A variety of kid-friendly food will be available for purchase in the Currier’s Winter Garden Café. Space is limited, so those interested are encouraged purchase tickets in advance.
