For adults, a beer garden will be set up in the 300 block of Pollock Street hosted by the Craven Arts Council. The Kids Fun Zone will feature a variety of inflatables, a magician, games and prizes.

Guests are invited to spend the weekend celebrating the new year. Downtown restaurants will be open, Union Point Park will be lit up with holiday displays and the brand new lighted tunnel, and the ice skating rink will be open at the park.
