New Year’s Eve Celebration and Ball Drop in Westwood

Celebrate Westwood will host its seventh annual Westwood (Early) New Year’s Eve Celebration on Wednesday, December 31, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm at Veterans Park in Westwood.

The early evening celebration features a high-energy DJ, and festive “snow” flurries created by professional snow machines. As the event builds toward its finale, snow squall conditions are expected just in time for the countdown and glowing ball drop.

Children can take part in snowball-toss games around the bandstand, collecting ingredients to create their own hot cocoa while supplies last. At 6:00 pm, the crowd will gather for a lively countdown and illuminated “ball drop,” lowered from the Westwood Fire Department’s bucket truck to ring in the new year early.

Be sure to visit Westwood’s downtown shops and restaurants before or after the celebration, keeping holiday hours and reservations in mind.
