New Year's Eve

It shouldn't be hard to figure out that the best place in the country to celebrate New Year's Eve is New York City. But how about Buffalo?

Besides the iconic Ball Drop at the Electric Tower (fireworks and musical performances start at 10:30p in Roosevelt Plaza), WNY has lots of other options to ring in the new year! Gateway Harbor: Avoid downtown's traffic and head to Gateway Harbor Park in Tonawanda (just the ball drop this year, no bar crawl)...

The downtown Buffalo ball drop is, by far, the most popular spot to ring in the New Year in Buffalo, NY. In fact, it's the second largest ball drop in the country. In the past over 40,000 people have come downtown to celebrate the new year, so officials have already begun preparing the party downtown...

Western New York is home to the second largest ball drop in the United States, behind Times Square in NYC, but that is not the only thing that makes Buffalo a top destination for New Year's Eve. If you're looking for what to do for New Year's Eve in Buffalo, here's some annual events that happen around town...

Eric Carmen has been silent on the recording front for some time now, but recently announced on his website a whole batch of good news for his fans including his first new recording in close to 15 years.

The end (of the year) is nigh.

Well, the world is supposed to end on December 21, but hopefully we'll make it out alive to celebrate New Year's Eve!

Instead of doing the ball drop downtown here are some other things that are going on around Western New York for the new year!
