The City of Edmonton hosts a fabulous free public party each year, seeing in the New Year with and evening of entertainment and fireworks.
Previous events have been affected to varying degrees by extreme weather events, something of an occupational hazard in this part of the world I'm afraid, but we're optimistic that the celebrations this eyar will go off without any hitches.
(TBC) Edmonton is still fortunate enough to have a large publically funded new years eve party to provide a focal point for the city's celebrations, and here the popular New Years Eve Downtown Festival & Fireworks takes place at the Sir Winston Churchill Square and City Hall Plaza.
This is a family friendly event, and unlike many of the equivalent parties in the USA where tickets or buttons are required to help with the costs, as we head towards 2024 this remains completely free to attend.
There are activities at the Plaza including live entertainers, music, comedians, ice-skating, fire pits and plenty more.
The climax of the Edmonton new year party is the spectacular fireworks display, which this year takes place at 9pm to fit in with the family friendly feel of the event and also at midnight. The best spots to head for to watch the fireworks are Federal Plaza and in front of the Alberta Legislature. Full details available here
