The cities of St. Cloud and Kissimmee both have “big deal” events to usher in a new year on Friday, that are back after coronavirus-inspired hiatuses last year.

This annual celebration to ring in the New Year will boast three stages of live entertainment, with performances from Maiden Voyage, Raspberry Pie, Raging Sun, Harlequin and the event headliner, Tim Montana.
As in years past, the countdown to midnight will include St. Cloud’s signature Cloud Drop to ring in the New Year.

Vehicles left on the closed streets during this time will be towed. For more information call, 407-957-7243.
