There's always plenty to do in the city that never sleeps and New Year's Eve and Jan. 1, 2025, in Brooklyn is no different!
Here's a small sample of what you can do to commemorate, or forget, 2024.
New Year's Eve Celebration at Grand Army Plaza
Dec. 31; 10:00pm to 12:30am
In light of the unprecedented drought conditions and recent fire, for the first time this year, this 44-year tradition will pivot from fireworks to a light show celebration. The event will include live entertainment by Quintessential Playlist starting at 10:00pm. A festive light show display will begin at midnight in the skies, featuring beloved iconography including the Brooklyn Bridge, the Big Apple, the Statue of Liberty and more.
