Providence New Year's Eve Celebration

The Providence Tourism Council, the City of Providence and Mayor Brett P. Smiley are thrilled to announce the return of a citywide New Year's Eve celebration with the Illuminate PVD Fireworks at the 195 District Park and the Michael Van Leesten Pedestrian Bridge on Tuesday, December 31, 2024.

Join us for an early start to ring in the new year, where festivities will illuminate the night from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. The Guild will be on hand, serving beverages to the 21+ crowd in a heated tent while food trucks including A Mano Pizza, The Burrito Bowl, Smackin' Mac, Chicked Out Nuggz, Clyde's Cupcakes & Desserts, Ja Patty and Little B's BBQ will serve up delicious eats.

An “After Dark” playground, illuminated roaming performers from Circus Dynamics, a disco welcome tent with dancers from Fluxion Entertainment, a salsa dance takeover from Cultura Dance Arts, New Year's Eve Wishing Trees, and PVD Poetry writing poems for the New Year on the fly promise enjoyment for all ages.

The party will groove right up to the fireworks display with local musicians including Sidy Maiga and the Providence Drum Troupe, a 360 Photo Booth, and a DJ Luke Renchan spinning tunes all night.

There will be a lighting of WaterFire's braziers surrounding the pedestrian bridge, starting at 6:00 p.m., setting the stage for the Providence Tourism Council's Illuminate PVD Fireworks show at 8:30 p.m. sharp! The Michael Van Leesten Pedestrian Bridge offers the perfect vantage point, providing views of the fireworks on the Providence River.

Don't miss out on this community celebration to kickstart the new year! Grab your friends and family and come celebrate with us at Providence's New Year's Eve Celebration.
