Schedule
- Starting at 6:00 PM on December 31, Harbour Town springs to life with live music, food, and entertainment- From 6:00–8:00 PM, enjoy family-friendly fun under the Liberty Oak: “The Nice Guys,” a local band, set the tone for the evening, while jugglers and a clown entertain kids- Later on, musical duo Just Keith & Tommy play from 8:00–11:00 PM. As midnight approaches, DJ Craz-E takes over for late-night dancing and celebration. - The signature moment: a giant golf ball — the biggest you’ve ever seen — is slowly lowered from the top of the lighthouse, marking the countdown to the New Year. Since this island embraces golf heritage, the ball drop serves as a fun, beach-side alternative to the classic Times Square ball.
