The party then moves to Shipyards Park from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. for sledding, skating and warm drinks, with the fireworks finale at 8 p.m.

Some other great vantage points for taking in the fireworks display are: the Riverfront Trail, the Airport Trail, and the Downtown Escarpment Trail.

Please keep these tips in mind on New Year’s Eve:

This is a popular event, consider carpooling, using active transportation or taking public transit.

Do not park on Black Street or Front Street by Fire Hall #1, as emergency vehicles need enough space to safely come and go from the station.

Please leave your pets at home on New Year’s Eve.

Outdoor activities will be cancelled if temperature registers -25 at 12 p.m.

Leave fireworks to the professionals. The use of fireworks is strictly prohibited within city limits at any time of year, pursuant to the Firearms By-Law.
