Ring in the new year along Alabama’s Coastal Connection Scenic Byway! Wherever you are along the byway, there is plenty for you to enjoy on New Year’s Eve. We have gathered a few places for you to go with family and friends to enjoy an eventful night out as you welcome 2022!
Magic Christmas Lights at Bellingrath Gardens and Home
This event runs from November 26 to January 5, but spending New Year’s Eve among three million lights seems like a wonderful way to celebrate. With more than 1,100 set pieces and 16 scenes, the whole family will enjoy the walking tour of the gardens. This light show is completely created and constructed by Bellingrath staff. In fact, some employees work full time all year long on the light display! Your night is sure to be magical at Bellingrath.
New Year’s Eve Fireworks at OWA
Look to the sky and be wowed by the fireworks show over The Park at OWA. You will have the opportunity to countdown together and then watch the sky light up. What a fabulous way to celebrate 2021 and kick off 2022!
New Year’s Eve Family Celebration
Starting at 8:30 p.m. in downtown Fairhope, celebrate New Year’s Eve with family and friends. You’ll be treated to live music as well as a DJ to keep the energy high. The kids will love having their faces painted while everyone awaits the midnight ball drop and fireworks.
Grab your skates and your friends for a fun day and night on the ice. Start as early as 10 a.m. for a day filled with fun, or arrive closer to midnight so you can glide and spin as you ring in the new year on the ice.
Kids Confetti Drop at The Wharf
Bring the kids for a fun afternoon of celebrating the new year without being up past bedtime. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with the confetti cannons going off at noon. Activities include a petting zoo, rock wall, bouncy house, face painting, camel rides, mechanical bull, surf simulator, character appearances and more.
Reelin’ in the New Year at The Wharf
Say farewell to 2021 and welcome 2022 at The Wharf’s New Year’s Street Party. Starting at 5 p.m., soak up the atmosphere of live bands, family-friendly activities, adult-centered fun, and a fireworks finale at midnight.
Holiday Horse and Carriage Rides at The Wharf
Grab a loved one and hop on a carriage as a fun way to finish off 2021, taking in the holiday lights and decorations one last time this year. Between 6 and 9 p.m., make your way to the pickup location at the ice-skating rink under the white tent near the Main Street entrance.
