This annual Charlotte tradition will include Crown Town, food vendors, food trucks, a DJ, a live band, the lighting of the Queen City crown, and a huge CLT NYE fireworks display starting at midnight.

A DJ will start the festivities at 8:00 p.m. in Romare Bearden Park, along with Crown Town – a chance for revelers of all ages to decorate a crown to wear as we prepare to ring in the new year. Food vendors and trucks will be on hand, and the Royals, a high energy party band playing Top 40 hits and classics from the 60s, 70s, 80s and more! At midnight, the crown will be lit and the fireworks will start 2017 with a blast. This is an alcohol-free event.
