New Year's Fest

Nothing planned for New Year's Eve?

New Year's Fest is a perfect option and it's only $5 for a button. December 31 in Downtown Kalamazoo provides the best options for entertainment, great food, and celebration. Check out www.newyearsfest.com for more information on the 30 acts that will perform 3 to 4 times throughout the night. The event now has a Fast Pass program (just like Disney) where at a sold out show you can receive a pass for the second or third show. New Year's Fest is committed to programs that make it easier to attend and enjoy the power of the cutural arts.

If you want to volunteer and give back to the community on New Year's Eve, New Year's Fest is again a great opportunity. Shifts are only 2 hours and most of the jobs are indoors or in a heated tent. If you are interested, please contact us at deb@eventkalamazoo.com.

And, for those of you who want to go out to a nice restaurant, Downtown Kalamazoo is the perfect place to be on New Year's Eve. You can visit www.downtownkalamazoo.org and check out the many great restaurants, and then come join us in Bronson Park for the first-ever ball drop - a new ball that was developed and manufactured by MAVCON Development and Contruction. And, of course the fireworks at midnight.

New Year's Fest is made possible through the generous support of our local foundations (Irving S. Gilmore, Dorothy Dalton, Harold and Grace Upjohn) and the support by Maple Hill Auto Group, MAVCON Development and Construction, Edward Jones, Bronson Healthcare Group and WVFM, WKZO and The Touch, along with Direct Air and so many others.

If you are interested, please call us at 269-388-2830 or email us at deb@eventkalamazoo.com.
