New Years
RING IN THE NEW YEAR IN WINE COUNTRY
City of Paso Robles Presents New Year's Eve (TBA)
The New Year’s celebration will be held downtown, at City Park, and will feature live music, a DJ, fire dancers and a bonfire. The event welcomes the JC Smith Band, a high energy Chicago blues-style group that promises to have the crowd dancing into the New Year. Adding to the excitement will be DJ Chad Fortin, resident DJ for the San Diego Padres and a proud North County resident and The Dancing Fire, a fire dancing troupe. A bonfire, refreshments and food trucks round out the evening. A 9PM ball drop is set to coincide with midnight on the East Coast so attendees can enjoy ringing in the New Year and still be home before midnight.
