Looking for something fun to do on New Year's Eve?  A free event is back in Rochester, Minnesota for its 2nd year and I heard that it is even BIGGER than last year.  In fact, it is going to have one of the biggest screens in all of Rochester to catch the Vikings vs. Packers game that night.

Free Party for All on New Year's Even in Rochester, Minnesota

Experience Rochester is pleased to announce the return of Celebrate Rochester New Year's Eve at Mayo Civic Center on December 31st.  This is a family-friendly event that even has a 'Kids Ball Drop" so they can feel part of the New Years Eve magic and you can get then home before they fall asleep on the Mayo Civic Center floor.  Ok, there is probably too much action happening for our kids to take a nap but this will prevent all of those meltdowns at about 10:30 pm.
