Here Are Things to Do for New Year’s in Westchester

The old year 2016 is rapidly dwindling away and 2017 is set to start. If you want to see the old year out with a bang and welcome the new, here are some places to do that:

New Year’s at Noon in New Rochelle: Once again, New Roc City will offer its festive ‘Ring in the New Year at Noon’ event for kids ages 2 – 10 in the atrium from 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Parents and kids will enjoy a safe and fun Times Square simulated atmosphere in a safe and fun environment. The highlight of the event is the thrilling count down to a 3,000+ balloon drop at noon, but there will also be face painting, arts and crafts, kiddy rides, clowns, wheels of chance, games, snacks, goody bags, raffle prizes and much more!
