Thanks to Last Night Fayetteville, a New Year’s Eve celebration is back on the square, complete with an official countdown to midnight, a fireworks display, and over 20 performances at eight different venues.
The fun starts at 6 p.m. and ends shortly after the Hog drops at midnight. Entry to the indoor venues requires an event pass which costs $10 in advance for adults ($15 at the door) or $5 for children under 12.
