Moncton to Host Third Annual New Year's Eve Celebration 2024-11-01

The City of Moncton is excited to announce the return of the New Year’s Eve Family Fun Fest, presented by the Moncton Wildcats. This highly anticipated event will bring the community together to bid farewell to 2024 and celebrate the arrival of 2025 with an extensive lineup of entertainment for all ages.

The celebration will take place on Dec. 31 from 2 p.m. to midnight at Downtown Place/the Ian Fowler Oval outside the Avenir Centre. Headlining this year’s show are two renowned musical acts known for their dynamic performances: Signal Hill, presented by Subaru of Moncton, and Les Hay Babies, presented by UNI Financial Cooperation.

“We are delighted to welcome Signal Hill and Les Hay Babies to this year’s event,” says Shane Esson, co-chair of the organizing committee. “Their talent and energy will undoubtedly contribute to making this year’s festivities an exceptional experience for all who attend.”

Attendees can look forward to live music, family-friendly entertainment, a Moncton Wildcats game, a United Way fundraiser barbecue, and two spectacular fireworks displays.

“Last year’s early fireworks show was a resounding success, and we are excited to bring it back once again,” says Claire Esson, co-chair of the organizing committee. “The New Year’s Eve Family Fun Fest provides an engaging experience for families, with a full day of activities for children and a special early fireworks display at 7:15 p.m. to cap it off. It’s truly a celebration that everyone in the community can enjoy.”

The organizing committee is working in collaboration with the City of Moncton and Events Moncton to ensure this year’s celebration is packed with fun and excitement for all ages.

“The NYE Family Fun Fest is a fantastic addition to our lineup of annual events, reinforcing what makes Moncton such a vibrant and welcoming place for both residents and visitors alike.” says Bill Whalen, co-chair of Events Moncton.

The City of Moncton extends its gratitude to all sponsors and the local business community for making this event possible.
