As part of the final week of Winterfest activities, Tioga Downs, located off of Route 17 / I-81 in Nichols, N.Y. presents a Live Fireworks Display at midnight on New Years Eve, Dec. 31.
The Winterfest spectacular Light and Sound show will run before hand from 8 p.m. until midnight with a special countdown starting at 11:46 p.m. and digital ball drop. Horse-drawn wagon and tractor rides will also continue through midnight.
Ken Williams, of W&W Nursery of Apalachin, N.Y., and lead designer of the Light and Sound shows notes, “There will be a special New Year’s Eve mix which includes melodies from a dozen or so songs. The music is synced with the lights building suspense to the ball drop countdown and culminating with a beautiful fireworks display.”
The New Year’s Eve Party will feature Virgil Cain performing live on the indoor Tioga Stage from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. (must be 18 years of age or older to attend the party).
The Fireworks Display is free to the public and will be a unique way to ring in the New Year!
Winterfest concludes on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 2 and 3. Tioga Downs takes pride in hiring locally, and hosting events like Winterfest for the community that supports them.
