Celebrate New Year's Eve in Brantford

It’s time to say goodbye to 2022 and celebrate the arrival of a new year!

Don’t miss the return of Times Square at Harmony Square on Saturday, December 31, 2022. Come celebrate with lots of live music, a photo booth, party favors, ice skating (weather permitting), and spectacular fireworks show at midnight.

The band Empty Hours will kick off the celebration with live music starting at 9:30 p.m. as they perform classic alternative dance rock followed by Jace Martin & The Pace performing the top pop, rock, blues and funk hits. Finally, headliner DESIRE will perform their International U2 Tribute Act when they take the stage at 11:00 p.m.

Just before midnight the countdown will begin, the ball will drop, and fireworks will light up the night sky welcoming in 2023.

Free parking is available downtown on December 31 and January 1 and at the Market Centre Parkade, located at 59 Icomm Drive, next to Harmony Square. Free transit services will be available on New Year's Eve from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. on January 1, 2023. The main Transit Terminal is located at 64 Darling Street, just a few steps from Harmony Square.
