BURLINGTON, ON. December 18, 2012 New Year’s family fun that is out of this world. Residents of all ages will have plenty to do at the city’s annual New Year’s celebrations. The City will host two days of fun that is out of this world. Central Park will be overrun with spaced-themed fun on Monday, Dec. 31 from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. and the celebrations continue at Tansley Woods Community Centre on Tuesday Jan. 1, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Both days feature Spaced Out!—a show by Kristi Heath and Greg Tarlin, as well as the Mad Science Fire and Ice Show. Families are encouraged to come dressed as their favourite space characters.
More than enough for the kids to do on both New Year’s eve and New Year’s Day in the city
The New Year’s Eve excitement begins at Central Arena with a Tim Horton’s free skate (wristband policy in effect to maintain safe capacity levels), and continues in the auditorium making alien slime with Mad Science, and over-sized board games for all to enjoy. The event will also feature an outdoor showing of E.T. Extra Terrestrial™ on a 25-foot screen. Bundle up and bring a lawn chair for this unique winter experience at 8 p.m. The evening concludes with a countdown to fireworks at 10 p.m.
If it’s noise you want – it’s noise you’ll get. Children know how to celebrate the New Year as well as adults – and the city is providing a lot for them to do.
The celebration continues on New Year’s Day with an afternoon of free fun and entertainment. Join us in the pool for the Tender Choice Foods free swim, in the gym for soccer with Burlington Youth Soccer, mini-golf with Putting Edge and in the preschool room for more crafts with Momstown. Visit community sponsor and vendor booths and face painting stations throughout the facility and play with games, puzzles, balloons and more.
