What a perfect way to end our daytime Children’s Celebration! Don’t worry about keeping the kids out too late to ring in the new year – they can enjoy all of the excitement early in the evening. Join Barefoot Movement as we drop the famous acorn and set off fireworks at 7:00 pm.
In accordance with Raleigh city mandates, masks are only required for indoor events, but not outdoor activities.
