New Year's Fest 2025

New Year's Fest is an all-ages showcase of performing arts that takes place on New Year's Eve in Downtown Kalamazoo. There are a variety of activities that take place including music, magic, comedy, exhibitions, fireworks, and great food! New Year's Fest's vision is to be a premier event that introduces the greater Kalamazoo community to the performing arts by providing an array of quality, unique artists and activities. NYF is hosted on December 31st from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. There will be a ball drop and fireworks at midnight in Bronson Park. Buttons act as your ticket to the event and are available on LocalHop as well as at surrounding locations in the Kalamazoo area for purchase. The advanced price for buttons are $10 (plus a small service fee on Local Hop). Children 7 and under are free to attend. Button prices at the event (December 31) are $15 a button.

We will have your buttons in Bronson Park at the tent by the stage starting at 5 p.m. on December 31, and throughout the night. We will have your name on a list, so just approach the tent like a usual "will call." The buttons act like a "flash pass" and you will be able to go to as many performances as you can.
