Crack out the noisemakers and sparkling fruit juice, it's almost time to celebrate the birth of the new year. Nathan Phillips Square is hosting probably Toronto's biggest party on Sunday, December 31, 2017 starting
at 8pm shortly before midnight. The fun includes DJs and a DJ skating party, concerts, site animations and some spectacular fireworks at midnight. It will be busy and it will be cold so prepare for travel and the weather.
NOTE: Due to the extreme cold weather the City has greatly reduced the planned schedule. "The New Year’s Eve event will begin shortly before midnight with a live DJ set, followed by a countdown to the stunning fireworks display, which will be taking place at midnight as planned. We will continue to monitor weather conditions over the next 48 hours and make further adjustments if necessary. We advise those attending to dress appropriately for the weather, cover all extremities, monitor themselves and others for signs of cold stress, and keep active when outdoors, if possible. Our website includes more information on the
health impacts of extreme cold weather."
