Many destinations these days offer family-friendly New Year's Eve events. Panama City Beach, for instance, has a giant "Beach Ball Drop"; in Hershey PA, a crowd counts down as a giant Hershey Kiss gets raised.
And then there are the many cities and towns that put on "First Night" events, with dozens of live performances by musicians, dancers, storytellers, acrobats... Typically, guests buy a First Night button which gives admission to all the fun; families can walk from one venue to another and enjoy several short performances. Often, fireworks end the night. First Nights are designed to be family-friendly and affordable.
