The City of Calgary and the Central Library are hosting a free New Year’s Eve celebration for the whole family! This year’s festivities include The Rumpus Room in the Municipal Building Atrium, and a family dance party in the Central Library featuring a kids countdown at 9 p.m., video games and much more!

Outdoors at Olympic Plaza there will be a skating party! The Tim Horton's truck will keep your family warm with some free hot drinks. Food trucks will be parked on 3 St S.E., and across all three sites you can and check out art, ice sculptures and roaming performers.
