Free festival at Sir Winston Churchill Square and City Hall Plaza from 6 p.m. till midnight in the heart of Edmonton this New Years Eve!

These events all start at 6 p.m. except the fireworks that start at both 8 p.m. and midnight. There will also be a screening of the absolute classic film, The Princess Bride, at the Stanley A. Milner Library at 2:30.
If you’re unable to get out to see the fireworks, they will be streamed live on CBC!
