Brantford's New Year's Eve

Join us on December 31, 2023 for free live music, photo booth and party favours at the Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts. The celebration continues in Harmony Square with the ball drop at midnight followed by a spectacular firework display to ring in the new year.

The evening begins at the Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts with the doors opening at 8:00 p.m. Live music starts at 9 p.m. featuring Wicked Truth, presented by Bellvue Manor, playing high energy classic rock followed by Summer of 69’, presented by Associated Paving and Materials Ltd., performing their international Bryan Adams Tribute Act just after 10 p.m.

Wicked Truth formed in 2016, and with their extremely entertaining, engaging and energetic performances, quickly became a favourite across southern Ontario. You may recognize them from their first television appearance on the long running CBC show Land and Sea and their regular appearances on The Discovery Channel hit show The RVers, over the past four years. 

SUMMER OF 69 is Canada's tribute to Bryan Adams, established in 2004 in Toronto, and has performed at countless outdoor festivals, theatres and events across Canada, USA including the Caribbean’s. They are now one of the most popular tribute acts around. 

The fun continues outdoors in Harmony Square with a ball drop just before midnight to count down the New Year followed by a spectacular firework display sponsored by TD Canada Trust.
